There was once a boy called Jagan, whose dream was to become a famous cricket player. The boy would pray every day for his dream to come true, but Jagan was not a lazy boy, so he would also practise very hard at the club. Jagan made sure to run, exercise and eat well. He would do his homework as soon as he got home so that there was time to play cricket with his friends at the end of each day. One day, Jagan was told by his father that they were leaving their home and travelling to a faraway country called Britain. He was very nervous but Jagan knew that his father was doing what was best for the family. Jagan helped his father pack their belongings and prepare for the long journey. He also helped his mother tidy the house and he looked after his sister whenever he was asked. When the family finally arrived in London, young Jagan felt out of place and alone. He was determined to make the most of his new life and so he found a club where he could play cricket and he continued to follow his dream. He always practised very hard, and when he enrolled at the local school he made sure that he completed his homework on time so that he could play cricket at the end of each day. Jagan was as determined as ever and he was convinced that one day his dream would come true. The new school was fun. Jagan soon made lots of new friends and the time passed quickly. Jagan’s friends did not understand why he was so interested in cricket. It is a waste of your time,’ said one of his friends. Why do you spend all that energy on a silly dream that will never come true asked anothe. At first Jagan was able to answer these questions easily. He knew what he wanted and he knew what he had to do to get it. However, as time passed, the questions became harder and harder to answer. Jagan’s friends always seemed to be going out and having fun and talking to girls, while all he did was work and practise hard. One day a friend said, Why dont you forget your silly dream and come to the cinema with us Jagan did want to see the film, and he was tired of always working and practising when everybody else seemed to be having more fun than him. So Jagan decided to miss his cricket training at the club.
