Ronaldo and the Wise Cat

Young Cristiano Ronaldo, small for his age but with fiery eyes, scowled at his worn football. Training was starting soon, but all he wanted was to play his favorite computer game. "I hate training!" he grumbled, kicking a pebble. A sleek black cat with emerald eyes sauntered into his yard. "Why the long face, young one?" it purred, its tail twitching. Cristiano explained his dislike for training. The cat listened patiently. "Little lion," the cat said, "that game is fun, but imagine the roar of the crowd when you score the winning goal! To reach that, you need practice." Cristiano, though still hesitant, considered the cat's words. He remembered the thrill of a goal, the joy of a winning game. He tried to practice a few moves, even managing a decent kick. The cat purred again, and Cristiano felt a surge of confidence. He started going to training regularly. The results were astounding - his skills improved dramatically. He finally realised that the hard work in the field helped him win many matches. He became a phenomenal football star.
