One day, all of the balls in the world gathered together.
The balls began to fight each other. Then, they divided into four groups.
The balls chose leaders for their groups.They chose as their leaders the ping-pong ball, baseball, basketball, and soccer ball.
Every ball thought that his own group had the best skills.
Let’s listen to them.
“Hey!A ball should be light and small,so he can move around quickly.Who is lighter and smaller than I am?”
“Hey!You’re wrong!You’re so light that the wind blows you away.Besides,a ball should be fast.And who’s faster than I am?”
“Ha,you guys don’t understand.If you hit people, they will get hurt.A ball should be big,but not too heavy.That way no one will get hurt.”
“You guys are so foolish.Is it good if you are good at only one thing?A ball should be well-rounded.Look at me. I’m almost as fast as a baseball. I’m slightly lighter and smaller than a basketball.So,I run fast when I have to.And,I protect myself from getting hurt,because I’m so big.”
“I don’t see an end to this argument.Let’s make a bet.”
“Fine.What kind of bet?How about a bet on who’s the fastest?””No,that won’t help.”
“Let’s find out which ball people like to play with the most.”
“That sounds good.The ball that people play with the most will be named the best ball.”
“There are so many balls,where will we play?”
“I think I know what to do.Listen to me.”
So,all of the balls listened to the basketball.
Every ball agreed with the basketball.
Every four years,people play in the Olympic Games.People cheer for their favorite sports.Other balls are there,too.They play with volleyballs,tennis balls,and other balls,too.They all want tobecome the people’s favorite balls.
球類打架的日子
一天,世界上所有的球類聚集到了一起。
球們開始互相攻擊。然后,他們分成了4組。
球們選擇他們自己組的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。他們選出乒乓球,棒球,籃球和足球。作為他們的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。
每一個球都認為他自己的組有最好的技能。
讓我們聽聽他們說的。
“嘿!一個球應(yīng)該是輕的和小的,因此他能來回移動的非???。誰比我還輕還小?”
“嘿! 你錯了!你是如此的輕以至于風可以把你吹跑。另外,一個球應(yīng)該是快的。那么誰比我更快?”
“哈,你們這些家伙不明白如果你們擊中了人們,他們將會受傷的。一個球應(yīng)該是大的,但是不要太重。這樣沒有人會受傷。”
“你們這些家伙是如此的愚蠢。如果你只擅長一件事情就是好的嗎?一個球應(yīng)該適應(yīng)多方面的??次?。我差不多和棒球一樣快。我比籃球稍微輕和小點兒。因此,當我必須去做的時候,我跑得飛快。而且,我保護我自己免受傷害,因為我是如此的大。”
“我看不到這個爭論的結(jié)果。讓我們打個賭。”
“好。什么賭?賭誰是最快的怎么樣?”“不,那是沒有用的。”
“讓我們找出人們最喜歡用那個球比賽。”
“聽起來不錯。人們比賽最多的球?qū)⒈幻麨樽詈玫那?rdquo;
“有如此多的球。我們將在哪里比賽?”
“我認為我知道去做什么。聽我說。”
于是,所有的球聽籃球說。
每一個球都贊同籃球。
每四年,人們將在奧運會比賽。人們?yōu)樗麄兿矏鄣倪\動歡呼。其他的球也在那里。他們也用排球,網(wǎng)球,還有其他球比賽。他們都想要成為人們喜愛的球。
