Football Shoes

   There is a story about the facts that sometimes new trainers can give to someone not only new shoes, but also a hope. When we were children (my brother and I), our family wasn't reach, quite the contrary, we were poor. My mother was a maid in hotel and my father was a worker. Money hardly was run to a meal and to pay for apartment. We, children, understood how difficult our situation was and we had never asked our parents for something. And they appreciated it. My brother Eric was four years younger than I. And he was going in for sport. He was fond of football. He played football not only on the courtyard, but also watched football translation on TV. His favorite team was Manchester United. Football made his life, it was everything for him. Parents were only glad that Eric had such hobby as football, because it didn't require some money, except for one thing - his running shoes. It hit us in our pocket to buy new running trainers every time when they were worn out. And my mother had to slow the patch on shoes. But Eric run on the courtyard playing football all day long and each time running shoes became more and more worthless. And mother had to slow the patches again and again. His trainers were all in patches. The main idea was, that the patches were from the different materials and different colors, so his shoes was colored and some boy laughed at him. My mother was sorry for him, but she hadn't opportunity to buy new shoes for him. Children don’t remember offends.
   One day Eric was invited to the region football team. He was very happy; it was the dream of all his life. But then he remembered that he hadn't trainers and he had to decline the invitation. All neighbors loved him and decided to help him and they chip in on new running shoes for Eric. He was delighted and so glad that his dream finally would come true.
