Jack is 26 now. He still wants to say thanks to his middle school P.E. teacher.
When Jack is a middle school student, he is tall and likes basketball very much. So he asks his P.E. teacher to let him join the school basketball .
On Jack's first day in the club, he wears his favorite T-shirt and the best basketball shoes. The teacher looks at and says, "Jack, you are new here. And your job is to these basketballs." Then the teacher goes to play basketball with the other students in the club.
Jack begins to make the dirty basketball clean. fifty minutes, he does the same thing. He can see other boys playing with the teacher. He knows the boys can play basketball well, but he still very unhappy about this. At last, he goes to the teacher and says, "I can play basketball well. Why can't I play with the other students?" The teacher looks at the basketball and some of them are still dirty. He says to Jack, "It's easy for you to make the basketball clean, you can't do it well. How can you play basketball well before you do the small things well?" Jack doesn't say anything, and his face gets red.
Now he is a great basketball player in his country and he never forgets his teacher's words. He always does the things well and works hard on the basketball.
