Remember:

Jack's foot stepped over the gateway and he felt a shiver go down his spine as his imagination ran wild. Owls and bats were flying around, making the whole thing even spookier. He cautiously crept up the broken, overgrown path and towards the front door where something scratched his leg as he stepped up to the porch through the undergrowth. Then a light flickered on and off in the hallway. This was all that was needed to make him turn back and run as fast as he could, dropping some of his leaflets in his haste.

Activity

Independently summarise the paragraphs below.

 

      On his way, he came across a game of street football.   

“Lil’ P!” someone shouted. It was Gabriella, his best friend.   

“It’s the final of 1970 - Brazil versus Italy! It’s 1-1! We need Pele!”  

Little Pele’s passion was football. When he wasn’t selling papayas or sifting through rubbish dumps looking for something he could sell, he was kicking a ball with his friends. His family were football-mad as well. His parents named him after Pele - the greatest footballer of all time, his dad said. But his family also needed money to live. He looked at the papayas and then back at the game. If he didn’t sell the papayas, his family would have no money to buy simple things like bread and water.  

      Suddenly, the ball flew over to where he was standing. Little Pele controlled the ball on his chest, juggled it between both feet, balanced it on his head, flicked the ball up and trapped it under his foot.   

Sell the papayas or score in a World Cup final? Hmm, it was a tough choice…
