When Sue looked out of the window one summer morning, she saw a new family moving into the house opposite theirs, their new neighbours. There was a girl about her age and a boy in a wheel−chair.
Soon Sue and the new girl Carrie became good friends. Once Sue asked Carrie about her brother. “What’s wrong with Brad?”
“There’s a problem with his backbone,” answered the girl. “That’s why he can’t use his legs.”
“How sad! Can’t the doctors do anything about his legs?” asked Sue.
“No, not really. But he doesn’t like it when people feel sorry for him. He’s very brave. You’ll see for yourself when you meet him.”
Once Carrie invited Sue and her twin brother Ted to come to their place. The first time Sue and Ted saw Brad’s room they were greatly surprised. There were photos of famous football players on the walls and a guitar on one of the chairs.
“Do you like football?” asked Ted and his face became red when he remembered that the boy could not walk, to say nothing of playing football. “And you play the guitar, don’t you?”
“Oh, yes. Football is great,” Brad agreed. “And I love music too.”
By and by the four children began to spend more time together. Brad knew a lot about music, sports and other things, and it was fun to talk to him. One afternoon when they were in the park Ted’s friends called him to play football. He wanted to say “yes” but thought about Brad.
Brad understood. “It’s all right. I’ll watch,” he said. But in fact he wanted to play together with the others.
Suddenly the ball flew near him, and the boy did a good header. “Wow!” shouted the players. “How did you learn to do that?”
“We played football in wheelchairs in my old school,” answered Brad. “It was a school for disabled children.”
“Are you going to leave us in autumn to go to your old school?” asked Ted who didn’t want to lose his new friend.
“No,” answered Brad, “I hope to go to the same school as you.”
“I’m so glad,” said Ted and the others agreed with him.
