A Basketball Short Story


The park was almost crowded at this hour, Kenneth and his dad were glad. The sound of happy children playing basketball was noisy.
“Dad, can I be a great basketball player?” Kenneth asked.
            “Why do you ask?”
            “Because I can’t touch the rim. I’m short,” Kenneth shrugged.
“That’s why I’m here. Look!”
 Daddy holds Kenneth and put his little hero on his shoulder so Kenneth could reach the hoop.
             “BLAMMM!” Kenneth got easy dunk.
 “Did I look like Kobe Bryant, Dad?” Kenneth laughed and gleamed.

            “Sure! But you’re not the next Kobe Bryant. You’re the next of yourself. You’re great, and you’ll always be,”  He kissed Kenneth.
