Tom wakes up early. He puts on his green football shirt and bright red socks. He smiles. Today is a big day. It is the day of the friendly football match.
Tom loves football. He is a football player. He likes to run, kick, and play with his friends. He always remembers to be kind and calm, even when he feels excited or a little nervous.
At the football field, Tom sees his team. They wave and say, “Good morning, Tom!” Tom waves back with a big grin. “Let's have fun!” he says.
Coach Mia claps her hands. “Let's warm up, everyone!” she says. The team runs, jumps, and stretches together. Tom feels his heart beating fast, but he takes a deep breath. He knows it is good to stay calm.
The match starts. The ball rolls and bounces. Tom runs after it. Sometimes he kicks the ball. Sometimes he passes to a friend. “Great job, Tom!” says Coach Mia. Tom feels happy.
Suddenly, the ball comes to Tom. He looks up. He sees his friend Ben near the goal. Tom remembers what Coach Mia said: “Work together, play fair.” Tom lifts his foot and gently chips the ball high in the air. It makes a funny arch—a big, slow rainbow.
Ben watches. The ball comes down, soft and slow. Ben taps it into the goal. The crowd cheers. Tom claps for Ben. Ben laughs and gives Tom a high five. “That was a great pass, Tom!” says Ben.
The game ends. Both teams shake hands. “Well played!” everyone says. Tom feels proud. He stayed calm. He helped his team. He had fun.
Coach Mia brings a shiny trophy. It sparkles in the sun. “This trophy is for everyone,” she says. Tom and his friends look at it together. They smile and feel happy inside.
Tom goes home. He thinks about his team, the game, and the rainbow pass. He feels proud and peaceful. Goodnight, Tom. Sweet dreams of football and friends.
