Joe loved football. He played it with his friends at school, in the park with his dad on weekends, and sometimes he even played it with his little sister, Bella, in their back garden. She usually missed the ball when she tried to kick it. But it was better than nothing.
I wish I could be on the school team, Joe told his friend, Finn. But maybe because he was small for his age, he never got chosen.
Then one day at break time, when Joe was playing football with his friends, Mr Burton, the football coach, came over.
How would you like to play for the school team this weekend? asked Mr Burton.
Joe felt like he was going to burst.
I'd love it! he said.
Joe felt so excited that he couldn't wait to tell Mum and Dad. But there was a problem.
I'm so pleased for you, said Mum. But oh dear I'm not sure you can play this weekend. You see, Dad and I are away, and you and Bella are going to stay with Gran.
