（Mike is telling a story. It happened when he was seven.）

It was New Year’s Eve. In the morning I heard Grandma tell Mum she needed a football for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

“A football for the dinner? What’s it for?” I wondered. “Anyway, I will get one! I can do something nice for Grandma.”

I remembered my friend Joe had an old football. I went out quietly and found him. I gave him my favourite model car in exchange for his football.

I took the football home, shined it and put it on the living room table secretly. I waited in my room for Grandma to notice it.

“Mike!” Mum shouted. I ran to the living room. “Why can’t you put your things where they belong? Get the football out of here!”

“But it’s for Grandma! She said she needed a football for the New Year’s Eve dinner.” I said.

“A football for the dinner?” Mum laughed. “No, Grandma needs a fruit bowl, not a football.”

“Fruit bowl sounds like football! I have done a silly thing!” I went back to my room, embarrassed and disappointed.

Before dinner, Mum came in and asked me to meet my uncles and aunts. When I walked into the living room, Grandma was showing them a pretty fruit bowl with the old football in its centre, I was surprised.

“Look!” Grandma said. “Today Mike brought me a nice present, this football. Isn’t it beautiful?” She continued. “It’s beautiful, yes - because anything from a child is beautiful.”
