Arthur and them and the new school
Arthur and his friends are at that gym owned and runned by Sergant Andrews. So it is Sergant Andrews gym. He is alsoa drill sergant as well. He has other workers there. He wants Arthur and them to be strong to beat the Mountain Lions team. Sergent Andrews acts mean but he is a good man who loves children. He has children as well. His kids might be adults now but still his children. He has a good wife as well. She works as a secretary of a lawfirm. She worked there for along time at that place.
"You kids are doing well," said Sergent Andrews, "We need to get you kids strong win win that soccer match."
"You are so good at running this place," said Arthur, "To get people into shape that is."
"Yes indeed Arthur," said Sergent Andrews, "That is why i opened this place to get people into shape."
"I love this gym," said Fern, "It gets people into shape for the patrons that come."
"Same here," said Brain, "We are patrons here after all."
The kids are getting stronger and stronger. They need that strength to win against the team named the mountain lions. As well as running not just weight lifting and such. As well as practice games. It all helps them in good ways. They have the easy game soon. They have that game tomorrow. And that hard game in a week. That hard team are too over confident about themselves. Which is in fact a weakness not a stength. And will underestmate Lakewood another weakness it is.
"I heard of two weaknesses of that team," said Francine, "They overestmate themselves and underestamate other teams."
"That they are," said coach Crosswire, "It is dangerous after all thinking like that it will cost them."
"We still must train hard," said Arthur, "We need to if we are to win."
"I found another thing dangerous about that team," said Brain, "They are known to injure players of other teams."
"That is dangerous," said Arthur, "We must be strong or get a broken bone or two."
They know what Brain said is in fact true. Sergent Andrews heard that as well. So he will help that team get stronger. So he will add jump roping and the treedmill to the excerising. Arthur knows that is a good ideas. The others also know that. They need to get strong or get injuried. That coach of that team is a bully himself. The mountain lions that is. They are on the treed mills now. It is getting their legs stronger. They need strong legs for soccer after all because of kicking.
"My legs feel stronger," said Buster, "I just hope it helps us defeat that team of bullies."
"I think it will," said Arthur, "We need tobe strong or we get injuried by them bullies."
"That is true," said Brain, "We need to train hard to win."
"You kids are doing well," said Sergent Andrews, "Now time to have a practice game."
They had that practice game. George on one side as goalie with the back up goalie which is Prunella on the other side. Arthur is on George side in the practice. See what happens in the next chapter of this story.
