A teenager lived alone with his father.The two of them had a very special relationship.Even though the son was always on the bench(替補隊員席),his father was always in the stands(看臺) cheering.He never missed a game!
When the young man entered high school,his father always encouraged him to keep on and not to be discouraged.
At college,the young man always put his heart and soul into every practice.It was the end of his senior football season.The coach met him with a telegram.The telegram said his father died this morning.The coach(教練) told him to take the rest of the week off and not to come to the game Saturday.
Saturday arrived and the game was not going well.The coach didn't allow him to play,but the young man insisted that he must play,and feeling sorry for the kid finally gave in."All right,"he said"you can go in!"
Before long,the coach,the players,and everyone in the stands could not believe their eyes.This little nobody,who had never played,was doing everything right!In the closing seconds of the game the kid stopped a pass and ran all the way for the winning touchdown(觸地得分)!The fans suddenly cheer together!Such cheering like you have never heard!
After the game was over,the coach noticed that the young man was sitting in a corner all alone.The coach came to him and said,"Kid,I can't believe it.You were fantastic!Tell me.What got into you?How did you do it?"He looked at the coach with tears in his eyes,and said."Well you knew my dad died,Coach.But did you know he was blind?"The young man swallowed(吞) hard and forced a smile."Dad came to all my games,but today was the first one that he could see me play.I wanted to show him I could do it!"
