Once there was a boy named billy. Ever since he was a little kid he loved basketball. when he was a little boy his mom bought him a basketball hoop. he would use it day after day, every day.

When he was ten years old, he joined a league. He was the star player of the team. He would make shot after shot. During the entire season, he never missed a shot. People considered him a future legend.

One day, he was shooting nonstop. He made 13 three pointers. He was on fire. he was the only one to make a point on his team. With 2 seconds left in the game, he went for a layup, but tripped. He broke his ankle and had to go to the hospital.

After he got back from the hospital, he was very sad. he couldn't play basketball for an entire 3 months. this was the worst time of his life. But because of his love for basketball. He would still shoot up in the air when he sat down.

When he was eating dinner, he would think and imagine all of the plays he could do. It didn't take too long for him to get better. Pretty soon, he was able to dribble the basketball outside.

Pretty soon he was cleared to play basketball again. when he got to the courts, he shot the ball but noticed that he wasn't as good as he used to be. Every shot he took missed. He would even miss layups. This made him very upset.

He decided to keep practicing. Every day, after school, he would go to the courts to practice. he expected to get better but he didn't. He decided to quit basketball. This made his parents very sad.

He would spend his entire day sitting on the couch watching tv and playing video games. he got in very bad shape. his parents wanted him to go outside but he wouldn't go. he never wanted to touch a basketball again.

He started to play video games every day. His parents couldn't get his attention. He also started to slack off in school. He got bad grades in all of his classes. He just didn't care about anything anymore.

One day, after hours of video games, he went to bed. He had a dream that showed him making a half court shot. The crowd cheered wildly. When he woke up, He felt inspired to play basketball again. This was the dream that changed everything.

he apologized to his parents for everything he had done. He stopped playing video games. He also improved on his grades. After school, he went to the courts to play basketball after school.
