Once upon a time there were two friends, Abdul and Thabo. They used to live and play together. Abdul was very sporty and always won their games. Thabo used to feel bad and thought it was no use. They were neighbours. One day it started raining heavily. Abdul was in high spirits. He started doing antics, but suddenly lost his balance and fell in the rain water. He called to his friend Thabo for help. Thabo came to his rescue. Abdul climbed on his back and reached a safe place. He thanked his friend for saving his life. When they began playing the following day, Thabo expressed his feelings to his friend Abdul. “I am feeling bad because of you, Abdul. You always won the games. I also want to be like you, winning games.”
Abdul said, “You must bring water and your towel for wiping your body.” One day later Thabo knocked at Abdul’s house and told him to train him today. Abdul trained Thabo so hard that even Thabo wanted to give up, but Abdul said, “You want to win, then you have to train harder.” Thabo said he was a professional, and Abdul said no, he was a semi-pro. They trained harder, and Thabo had a game the following day. He was so happy, and he won the game. They went to celebrate with Ice cream as friends, and drank milkshakes.
