Once upon a time, there was a boy named Tim who loved playing soccer. He was very passionate about the sport and spent most of his free time playing with his friends. However, there was one team in the neighborhood that always beat Tim and his friends. The other team was skilled, and Tim's team lost every single time against them. Tim and his friends became frustrated and started losing interest in playing soccer. One day, Tim's dad saw him upset and asked him what was wrong. Tim explained the situation to his dad, and his dad advised to join them if he can't beat them. At first, Tim was hesitant. He didn't want to give up on his own team and play for the other team. But then he thought about it and realized that he could learn a lot from the other team. He decided to try out for their team and they accepted him. Once he started to play with them, Tim quickly realized that the other team's training and playing techniques were better than what he was used to. He worked hard and learned lot of technique's from his new teammates. Soon, Tim was playing better than ever and he even helped his new team beat his old team.
