Once upon a time, in a friendly town in England where there are lots of big green parks, there lived a group of children who absolutely loved getting outside and playing rugby with their friends!

One of those children was called Alex, who was always full of energy and giggles!!!!!

One day, all the children gathered for their rugby game. Alex’s team, the “Tree-mendous Tigers”, was going up against the “Mighty Monsters”, who were big and loud.

When the game started, Alex felt a bit nervous. The Monsters ran towards them like giants, their laughter booming. But Alex didn't let it scare him. He stood tall and brave, ready to play.

During the game, something funny happened. The ball flew high into the sky and landed in a big bushy bush. Without thinking, Alex ran over to the bush, his eyes on the ball and launched himself into it head first!! He disappeared into the bush like a fox down a hole.

Everyone waited for what seemed like hours, wondering what had happened to Alex?!

Then, suddenly, Alex popped up from the middle of the bush, holding the ball high above his head. He had leaves and sticks poking out of his hair, making him look like a funny scarecrow!

Everyone burst into giggles and clapped and cheered for Alex. Even the Mighty Monsters! Alex felt so proud!

After that day, Alex became known as the bravest child in the town, always ready for an adventure and a good laugh.

The Tree-mendous Tigers went on to win lots more games, with Alex leading the way with his funny antics and brave spirit. And Alex became a bit of a hero to all the other children, showing them that being brave and being part of a team, is about having fun and always being yourself.

Go Get ‘Em Tiger!!!
