The Foot Ball Promise

Description

The Foot Ball Promise

Every schoolboy loves a game of football. During the December school holidays, Michael had schoolwork to complete, but he also wanted to play football. One day, his mother, Estonia, instructed him to read and go through three storybooks. Estonia, or Mama, as Michael calls her, promised to bring him a gift.

She does not tell him what the gift will be. Michael does not read the three storybooks, but flips through them from the first page to the last page. Michael is determined to play football, but he has no ball. Together with Nad, the garden boy, and Tina, the house girl, they made a ball. After that, they played football until the evening, when Estonia came back home with the gift.

Every day, when we leave our children at home, do they do what they promise? Do we fulfil our promises to them? The Football Promise is an eye-opener about what happens at home when we’re away. Children will always be children.
