Last week, I finally managed to ask my parents to buy me a new football shirt for the school match. I was very excited and wore it to the training before the match, but I wished I hadn’t done that! My new shirt was torn (破损的) after the training!

As I walked home worriedly, I saw a shop sign: All Kinds Of Repairs. I went inside at once. An old man came up to me and said cheerfully, “Welcome! This is a repair shop!”

“But...what I need is a tailor to deal with my football shirt.”

To my surprise, he took the shirt from me, put on glasses and sat down on the sofa with my shirt in his hands. “I guess you are a striker (前锋),” he smiled. How could he know? The man gave me a wink (眼色) and said, “See the picture on the wall? That was me 30 years ago.”

I couldn’t believe my eyes! He was Orhan, the famous footballer on the city team years ago!

I told him I was playing for the school team and I had been his fan for years. I told him everything, my dream, my practice and even my dad’s words.“Dad thinks I should be a doctor.” I lowered my head.

“Follow your dream, choose a job that you love and carry on.” The man smiled at me. He patted (轻拍) on my shoulder and put the shirt which he had repaired in my bag.

Today I have become a footballer and I still keep the shirt in my closet.
