Carlos Joins the Team
Carlos likes to play baseball.
He plays catch with his little sister, Selena.
The baseball coach asks
Carlos to join his team.
“I'm so new in this school.
I don ́t know the kids here,”says Carlos.
“Playing sports can help
you make new friends,"says the coach.
“Then I will join the team!”says Carlos.
Carlos wears his baseball
glove to bed the night before
his first game.
The glove is still on his hand
when he wakes up.
At school, a girl named Becky
gives Carlos a card.
The card asks him to come
to her birthday party.
“Oh, no!”Carlos says.
“We have a big game that day.
Maybe I can come to your party instead.”
Carlos asks the coach
if he can miss the big game.
“If you don ́t come,”the coach
says,“your team will be
missing a player.”
“I should not miss the game,”Carlos says.
“The team will need me."
On the day of the big game
all of the families come to watch.
Carlos helps the team win.
Becky brings cake for the team!
Everybody wins!
