Michael O’her lived alone with his father,
and the two of them had a very special relationship. The father believed in
encouragement.
Though Michael was the 21 of
the class when he entered high school, his 22 continued
to encourage him, but also made it very clear that he did not have to play 23 if
he didn’t want to.
However, Michael loved football and was
24 to try his best at every practice. All through high school,
he never 25 a practice or a game, but remained a
bench warmer(替補(bǔ)隊(duì)員) all four years. His 26 father was
always in the stands, with words of 27 for him.
It was the end of the football season, and
as Michael ran slowly onto the practice field shortly 28 the
big final game, the coach met him with a telegram. Michael
29 the telegram and became deathly silent—his father died
that morning, and the sad man left for 30 immediately.
In the third quarter, when the team
was ten points 31 , a silent young man
eagerly 32 onto the sidelines. The coach and his players were
shocked to see their team-mate back so 33 .
“Coach, please let me 34 .
I have to play today,” said Michael. Feeling sorry for him, the coach
35 . Before long, nobody could believe their eyes. This small
bench warmer played like a(n) 36 . He helped his
team win finally.
When the team was cheering for their
37 , Michael was sitting in the corner all alone. The coach came to
him and said, “You were fantastic! Tell me 38 you
did it?”
Tears in eyes, Michael said, “Well, you
knew my dad died, but did you know he was blind?” He
39 a smile, “Dad came to all my games, but today was the first
time he could 40 me play, and I
wanted to show him I could do it!”
