another High School team. Our team wore red and white shirts, white shorts, and red stockings. The
other team wore orange and black shirts, orange shorts, and black stockings. “They look like bees“,
my brother said, and we laughed. They played like bees too. They ran very fast, attacked very hard,
and passed the ball to each other very fast. Soon they scored their first goal. My brother and I shouted
and shouted, “Come on, Valley School! Come on, the Valleys! ” Our headmaster was near us and he
was shouting too. He seemed very enthusiastic. However, the high school scored another goal. We
were very sad.Then, one of the “bees” stopped the ball with one of his hands, so our team got the free
kick. Our captain took it and scored a goal. We shouted, “Hooray!” The score was now 2:1. That was
better. Now our team began to play better — or the “bees” were getting tired. Our team scored
another goal before half-time. In the second half of the match, both teams tried very hard, but neither
