I
am going to tell you a story
about encouraging children
and how encouragement
makes them successful.
There was a small town and in
that town there were 3 kids who
were very good friends.
Theyalways went around the
town after school to play cricket,
football and basket ball. They
were able to play all the games
except from one game…TENNIS.
In their town, they had 2 tennis
courts that were used by
the members of aclub. The
members were engineers,
doctors and lawyers. Every
evening, they played for a
couple of hours in the tennis
courts.
The 3 boys had a habit of
24
watching and helping them by
collecting the balls, if they flew
out of the courts. These are the
things we all do whenever we
get a chance to play tennis.
One day their sports teacher
at school,went to them and
said“We are going to start
playing tennis at our school . Do
you want to play?”
The guys were filled withgreat
joy and said “yes” to the Master.
Older boys of their school went
to America and encouraged the
others bysending them tennis
balls, rackets and Shoes.
Because of that, the three boys
started to play tennis and their
dream came true. Many Boys
joined themin their games. In
two years time, they went to
play at theNational Level School
championships. They came third
place out of 22 Schools. Great
Performance, Great Joy and
Great Success were following
them because of their hard
work
