Chereads / Legend Like Barry Sanders / Chapter 30 - Knowledge comes from the Lord

Chapter 30 - Knowledge comes from the Lord

[Both] "Wow."

"Yeah, don't get me wrong when I said every young boy is a problem. Your son or daughter will become a responsible person. It starts in the teens. And you guys are teenagers now. So, if your mother or father wasn't able to control your life, you will surely end up like those bad boys on the street, just like my prodigal daughter in the house."

"Yes, I was busy at work. That's why I sent her to her father's apartment in Madrid, in Spain. Now, I see my little girl's life is very bad. Just her rich father in Spain. Because of money, my daughter and her father don't respect anybody in this world."

[Both] "Hmm."

"I wonder why you're not like them. Hey, thank you so much for talking to Miss Anna for us." [Lefah]

"Yeah, that's why we came here today just to say thank you. Lefah and I kept thinking about how we would talk to Miss Anna but had no idea about how we would comfort her about joining the high school football team, but you made it simple for her to understand us and support us too." [Garriso]

"Yes, Miss Madison. If it wasn't you, like how are we going to talk to Miss Anna about it and, even joining the high school football team would be very difficult. Hey, thank you so much. We really appreciate you." [Lefah]

"Hey, that's fine. You have said a lot about this. Trust me, I always get your back. Just make sure that you guys will play your best so that you can achieve your dreams just like Barry Sanders."

Lefah smiled and said," Wow, so how did you get to know Barry Sanders?"

"Your mother told me everything that you just want to play football, just like Legend Barry Sanders. Having such a dream at the age of 5, tells how you want to play. Hey, just keep it up."

"Hm, yes. I did, but I wish not to tell her later on when I regretted it. Because from the day I told her that I wanted to play football, that same day she told me about my real dad but never told me why she doesn't support the idea of us playing football."

Miss Madison smiled and said, "Okay, that's past now. And what matters is that you guys have her full support now."

"Yes, you're right, Miss Madison. And we are much happier because you helped us throughout from day one. We wanted this." [Garriso]

"Hey, it's okay now. Let's focus more on playing our best so that I will win the bet with Miss Anna. And I won't even tell you about it, so don't bother to ask about it. And hey, stop looking at me that way. I am someone's mother and also Miss, if you guys don't know. Just looking young, just like your mother, but I am a fully grown-up woman."

[Both laughing]

[The next morning, Miss Anna was passing by and knocked on Lefah and Garriso's bedroom door and greeted them from outside the living room.]

"Good morning! My boys."

[When Garriso heard the knocking, he woke up from bed and saw Lefah was already doing some workout in the bedroom.]

"Hey, what are you doing bro?"

"And are you a blind man to see me training now? You know, I woke up early today and I wanted to do some work out for more fitness."

"Hey. "Fuck you." And you didn't wake me up bro."

"I am sorry, and I didn't want to bother you. Because you were far away from sleeping, bro. And you really know I dislike it when you are sleeping and sneezing.

"Oh, whatever, but that was just last night. And I think I was really stressed, that's why, bro."

"Hmm, that's fine and don't worry, I got this bro."

Okay and hey, who was knocking on the door, my man?"

"Oh, that was Miss Anna. The old lady. And she was just knocking to greet us bro. But you know I was busy training, so I didn't even mind him, Garriso."

"Hmm, and you didn't wake me up to work out with you, Lefah."

"But I am not done yet, so why don't you join me now, Garriso?"

"Oh, just get out. I am not going to do anything bro. Hey, what says the time bro? You know we have training this morning, right?"

"Yeah, I know that, and training is something I can't escape, bro. Hey, just get up from bed and stop being lazy bro."

"Oh, whatever. Just shut up and do your workout. I will be in the bathroom to take my shower."

"Okay bro. Hey, let's get ready for training at the next minute please. I am almost done with the workout. I will join you in the bathroom soon."

"Hey, don't come here, my man. You "Fuck me up" by not waking me up this morning to work out with you. So don't come here."

"Hey, I am sorry."

[Garriso responds back from the bathroom by shouting.]

"No! Don't come and if you try that, I'm going to break your leg here. I'm not going to take a shower with you this time, bro."

[Lefah laughs]

"Hey, don't be crazy, I am coming. You can do whatever you want to do, master planner."

[Lefah and Garriso sometimes take their shower together, but this time, Garriso was asking him not to come to the bathroom because he didn't wake him up early today for them to do their normal workout. But Lefah was too stubborn to undress and joined Garriso in the bathroom.]

[Some minutes later] [Coach Wilson's voice from the back]

"When I was young and strong, playing football. I learned a lot from my experienced Coach. My coach keeps saying, "My second name is King Solomon, and all because king Solomon has his knowledge fully. " King Solomon was able to have his knowledge fully when he prayed to God that he knew nothing, so God should give him more knowledge."

"There's a saying," True knowledge exists by knowing that you know less. Even God bless those who know less and ask for more from him. But not those who pretend to know more when they know less."
