Chapter 1 The Mighty Lions?
Soccer wasn't just a game to Carlos.It was his whole life.
His father worked among the vendors at the local soccer ground.He owned a little stall that sold meat empanadas and fresh fruit juices.Carlos went along with him every Saturday to watch the village team play.
Carlos and his friends practiced before and after school every day.On the weekends they played games against neighboring villages.
Their team was called the Mighty Lions.But they hadn't been too mighty lately.In fact, they had lost every game so far this season.
Paulo was the best player on their team.He dreamed of being a Brazilian soccer star, like Pele and Ronaldo.
"I'm going to score 1,000 goals," he said."And help Brazil add another three World Cups to its collection!"
Carlos would be happy to score just one goal.Or win just one game, especially a game against the Wolves.
The Wolves won every game against the Mighty Lions.The team's players were always making fun of Carlos and his friends.
"Some Lions you are," their captain would say."You should call yourselves the Kittens!"
Chapter 2 A New Player
One day Carlos and Paulo arrived at training to find their coach smiling from ear to ear.
"We have a new player on the team " their coach told them.He pointed to a small figure already out on the soccer field."Her name is Susana."
"Is she any good?" asked Paulo.
The coach's smile got even bigger."Just wait and see," he said.
