Lee Ching loved tennis.He had a few old balls and an old racquet (球拍)that his grandfather had given him.Lee was the happiest when he was practising his shots against a wall at his house.He hoped that he would become a famous player one day.
However,there was one problem-Lee's family was very poor.This meant that there was not enough money to pay for tennis lessons,the white clothes or a new racquet and balls.Lee had tried playing with the other players in his town,but they had just made fun of his old racquet and shabby clothes.So,Lee spent his time watching them play and then practising exactly what he had seen them do,against the wall at home.The manager of the tennis courts,Mr.Song,had seen Lee watching the tennis,day after day,and decided to find out why.When he heard Lee's story,he had pity on him and offered to give Lee tennis lessons.
Through the lessons,Mr.Song realized that Lee knew a lot about tennis,so he asked him to coach the younger children's tennis class; this time Lee was paid for his job.He was able to buy new clothes and a new racquet and soon people were asking him to join their games.His tennis skills were improving all the time.
Lee became a very good tennis player.So good that Mr.Song invited him to play in a competition at the town courts.Lee did not know that Mr.Song had invited a world-class tennis coach,Mr.Wei,to watch Lee play.Lee played very well and won all his matches.Mr.Wei was so impressed that he offered Lee a place at his tennis school.
For many years,Lee worked hard at his tennis.Then came the day when Lee played in his first world championship.The young man he would be playing against was the world champion.Lee was nervous.The young man played very well.He was too good for Lee to beat.So Lee came second in the competition.But Lee didn't mind.There was plenty of time for winning in the future.For now,he was happy that he was on the road to becoming a world famous player.
