He was a boy who was fond of playing football, practiced without interruption, but was very short. This boy lived with his father, who shared his feelings, and knew what was in the heart of his son, and he always supported him. With his persistent practice of play he was not allowed to participate in the team due to his extreme shortness. He did not despair, did not crash his soul, but was attending the game and follow with all his being what goes on in each session, and his father was sitting next to him with joy.
When he entered high school he played, but he did not join the school team for the same reason. He was never absent from training, and he also attended as a spectator in the course, accompanied by his father and encouraged.
When he joined the university, he was determined to join the university team. He showed skill in movement and ability to play. His father rejoiced in his son's determination. He was not absent from attending all the courses in which his son participated.
In the final year, the day before the last session he received a telegraph that saddened his heart too. He carried the telegraph to the team leader and said to him: "My father has died, will you let me miss the day after tomorrow?"

As the second round began, the young man left his seat and went to the dressing room and asked the team leader to join them.
