Cinderello

There was once a young boy named Mateo who dreamed of becoming a great baseball player. He lived with his mother and father in a small town. His father taught Mateo to play baseball. Mateo hoped to be a star pitcher one day.

One day, Mateo's father died. His death left Mateo and his mother very sad and alone. Later on, Mateo's mother married a rich man. They were overjoyed!

Mateo's stepfather had twin sons. Mateo was happy to have new brothers, but the twins, Primo and Guapo, were spoiled, mean, and greedy. They didn't like Mateo. Mateo asked if they wanted to play baseball. " We would never play baseball with a runt like you, " Primo said. " Actually, we'll never play with you at all! " added Guapo.

They made Mateo do all the chores. " Look at him work while we play, " said Guapo. " Just like Cinderella, " added Primo. " I know, " Guapo cried, “ let's call him Cinderello! " So the twins teased and bullied Mateo.

One day, exciting news spread through town. The coach of the national Little League team was coming! He was holding tryouts, looking for the most talented players.
