We are talking about baseball again today, but today’s story is about a girl named May. May is twelve years old, and she has a dream. She doesn't want to play piano or violin—she wants to be a pitcher.[Script]But May lives in a small town, and some people say, 'May, girls don't play baseball. You should play softball instead.' May just smiles and says, 'Watch me.'Every morning at 6:00 AM, before school, May goes to the park. She has a target painted on a brick wall. Thump. Thump. Thump. She throws the ball 100 times every single day. Her arm gets tired. Sometimes it rains. Sometimes her friends are sleeping, but May is always practicing.One day, the local team had a big tryout. May walked to the mound. The boys laughed. 'She’s too small,' they said. But when May threw the first ball, nobody laughed. It was a perfect strike. She didn't just have power; she had control.May taught everyone a lesson that day. It doesn't matter if you are a boy or a girl. It doesn't matter if you are small. If you have the dedication to practice when no one is watching, you can win. May is now the starting pitcher for her team. Next time you think something is 'too difficult,' think about May and her brick wall.\"OUTRO:That is the end of our story. Good job!Now, can you answer the three questions?
