Nj mark Jordan at the big game
Jordan walked into the football ground with his father. Look at that notice Dad he said
Into the box.
I could be the one of the lucky winners. There will be a lot of names in that box, smiled his dad.
But I could still win, said jordan. Jordan and his dad went to sit down. They watched as a man came out onto the field with the box.
He said to everyone,
Now for the names of the winners!
Then he pulled out a ticket.
The first name is … Liam Rivers!
That’s Liam from my school! Said Jordan.
Then the man said, And the second name is Nicky Hill!
Jordan watched the two children running down the steps and onto the field.
I didn't get picked dad, he said
Maybe you will next time, said his father.
Everyone waited and waited.
Where has Liam Gone? Asked Jordan.
I can't see him.
He will be putting on a team jersey, said his father.
But he will have to hurry.
It's time for the game to start.
Just then the man on the field said, Sorry to keep you waiting, but we are going to take another name out of the box And it's Jordan WIlson!
That's me, shouted Jordan.
So it is! Laughed his dad.
Away you go! Jordan ran down the steps and raced across the field.
Someone gave Jordan a team jersey and he pulled it on. Then he saw Liam standing all by himself.
I told them that I can't do it, said Liam.
I'm too scared to go out there.
My legs keep shaking.
Liam was trying not to cry, and Jordan felt sorry for him.
Come out Liam, said Jordan.
You can do it.
We can run onto the field together.
Here Jordan! You can take the ball, said one of the captains.
Now, is everyone ready?
