Tom wants one real kick before the park gets dark . His cousin Mia has the ball under her arm . She walks on the grass and she does not put the ball down . The other children are already at home . Soon their mother will call them from the gate . If Tom does not kick the ball now , the two of them will go home with no game . " Put the ball down , " Tom says . " This is football . We kick the ball . We don't carry it in the middle of the game . " Mia stops next to the small goal . " Why ? " she asks . " I can hold the ball . When I kick , I miss . " Tom looks at the empty net . A kick with nobody there is only a sound . He is in the park because he wants to play with Mia . He does not want to shoot alone . He points to the lines on the grass , the big box in front of the goal . " Be the goalkeeper , " he says . " You can catch the ball in this box , at your own goal . I am not the goalkeeper . If I pick the ball up during the game , that is not allowed . I have to kick . " Mia is quiet for a moment . She wants to use her hands , and she wants to stay in the game with Tom . Then she steps over the line . She puts the ball on the grass just outside the box , and she lifts her hands . She is not carrying the ball around the park now . Her hands are in the place where this shot allows them . Tom runs a few steps and kicks . The ball stays low . It goes straight to Mia , and she catches it with both hands . She laughs and sits down on the grass , still inside the box . He wants the ball in the net . The ball is in her hands , and her hands are in the right place . Mia stands up . She rolls the ball back to Tom . She does not step out of the box . " Again , " she says . The light is weak , and Tom can hear their mother at the gate . He does not pick the ball up . The ball comes to his foot , and he kicks again . One kick is not the important thing now . The game is on .
