Last week, I finally managed to ask my parents to buy me a new football shirt for the school match. I was very excited and wore it to the training before the match, but I wished I hadn't done that! My new shirt was torn (破损的) after the training and only a tailor (裁缝) could help!
As I walked home worriedly, I saw a shop sign: All Kinds of Repairs and Services! I went inside at once. I looked around the shop and saw broken toys, broken chairs … I wondered if I was in the wrong place. Just at that moment, a man with white hair came up to me and said cheerfully, "Welcome! This is a repair shop and I can repair everything!"
"But … what I need is a tailor to deal with my football shirt."
"You've come to the right place. I've been waiting a long, long time to repair a football shirt."
"Really?" I held the shirt in my hands.
To my surprise, he took the shirt from me, put on glasses and sat down on the sofa with my shirt in his hands. " I guess you are a striker (前锋), " he smiled warmly. How could he know? The man gave me a wink and said calmly," See that picture on the wall? That was me 30 years ago. "
I couldn't believe my eyes! He was Orhan, the famous footballer who was on the city team years ago! I told him I was playing for the school team and I had been his fan for years. I told him everything, my dream, my practice and even my dad's words. " Dad thinks I should be an engineer or a doctor. " I lowered my head.
"Follow your dream, choose a job you love and carry on. " The man smiled at me with his blue eyes. He patted (轻拍) me on the shoulder and put the shirt he had repaired in my bag.
Today I have become a footballer and I still keep that shirt in my closet.
