Situation 14:

Basketball Practice 2(Robert and Billy run to basketball

practice.They go to their coach,Coach Malone,to ask

him who is right.)

Coach Malone,tell Robert good shoes make good players.

What?

Coach Malone,tell Billy shoes are not important.

What are you talking about?

Coach Malone,I got new Air Jordans yesterdayand I said they will

make me a better basketball player.

And I am using my old Reeboks,but I said I’ll still be a good basketball

player.

You are both right. Good shoes are comfortable and help you not to get hurt.

But they won’t make you a better player.And a great player will play great in any

shoes.

So who is right? We bet five dollars. Who wins?

Yeah,who wins?

Nobody wins.You are both partially right,and you are both partially wrong.

Now get ready for practice.Robert, you practice lay ups.

Billy, you practice free throws.And don’t worry, both of your shoes are

fine.If I had shoes that good when I was young I would have been a

much better player.

See, I was right! Give me my five dollars!
