ANNA AND HER BASKETBALL ADVENTURE


A group of teenage boys was playing basketball on the court at the park. The
basketball court didn’t have a fence around it. If one of the boys missed the
basket, someone had to catch the basketball quickly so it wouldn’t bounce
too far away.

One of the boys was showing off,


and he tossed the ball with all of his
strength from the one end of the
court toward the basket on the
other end. The ball was flying like a
rocket over the heads of all of the
other boys. Then it kept right on
flying. It flew straight over the
basket and out into the field.

Anna was sitting at the end of the


field near the pond watching the
ducks swim. She heard some
yelling and turned to see a big
orange object headed her way. The yelling was coming from the teenage
boys.

“Stop the ball,” one of them shouted.

The ball landed a few feet away from her. It started rolling and was heading
right for the pond. The ducks saw it nearing and started flapping their wings
wildly in fear.

Anna saved the ducks and the ball. She threw her arms out to stop the ball just
as it was about to splash into the water.

“Bring it over here,” called one of the boys.


Anna shyly walked the ball over to the court. She was only in grade school and
older kids made her nervous. They ended up being very nice though. “Thanks
kiddo,” they all said at once.

“Can I try a shot?” Anna asked the boys.

The boys said, “Sure,” but they all chuckled because Anna was so much
younger and shorter than them. They didn’t think she would be able to toss the
ball even halfway to the basket.

Anna took the ball and stood at the free throw line. She concentrated hard
and focused on the basket. Then she gave it her best shot. The boys watched
with amazement as the ball whooshed straight into the basket. Anna smiled
as the boys all cheered loudly for her.
