Once upon a time, there was a boy named Micheal. Micheal lived with his Mom, Dad, and his pet bestfriend Max. Micheal and his family lived a very happy life.

Micheal loved his family very much but, he loved Max the most. Micheal and Max would spend every moment together and would often spend much of their time together watching sports like swimming.

its a beautiful day

whos a good boy max? You are!

Micheal always loved to watch swimming and it was his favorite sport. Micheal always had a dream of swimming in the Olympics with his favorite swimmers.

The only problem is that Micheal cant swim. One day Micheal decides hes gonna ask his parents to sign him up for lessons. After some convincing, Micheal was allowed to start lessons.

Please let me take swimming lessons!

Okay honey.

A few days later Micheal was able to start his lessons. He was excited and nervous because he had never swam before. As soon as Micheal got in the water he knew it was not gonna be good.

Micheal immediately started to panic and was splashing all about the pool. Soon he began to sink and had to be saved by his teacher. Micheal then got out of the pool embarrassed and humilated.

Are you excited for your first day of lessons?

YUP!

After the first day of lessons and Micheal's embarrassing mishap, he decided that he was gonna give up on his dream. This decision made Micheal very sad but he thought it was his only option.

Micheal told his teacher and parents that he would not go back and that he was done with his dream. He believed that he wouldnt be able to swim ever in his life.

Micheal its okay buddy, dont feel bad.

NO! I quit I cant do it!

Micheal was very saddend by being unable to swim and didn't want to talk to anyone but Max. Micheal decided that he was gonna take Max on a walk through the park.

Unfortunately another great tragedy occurred on their walk in the park. A distracted driver didn't notice them and hit Max. Micheal rushed Max to a vet where he survived but was very hurt and unable to walk for a long while. 

MAX NO, LOOK OUT!!!!

Micheal now felt even worse after believing it was his fault that Max got hurt.  Micheal was very unmotivated and did not want to leave his room. Micheal felt like his life was falling apart.

After a while Micheal still was very upset and unmotivated and couldn't even watch his favorite sport anymore. Max was very slowly getting better but Micheal didn't think his best friend would ever walk again.

Hes all set guys.

Im so sorry Max.

Its not your fault buddy, cheer up!

Every day Max would keep trying to walk but he was not able to. Micheal would watch Max stand up and fall over everday and it made him very upset.

After days of Micheal watching his bestfriend try and try to walk, he started to see progress. This gave Micheal hope that maybe his bestfriend would be able to walk. This idea had changed Micheals mind into thinking  that maybe that giving up on a goal shouldnt be an option.
