My name is Aidan. I am the team captain on
the Miami Lakers.

One day, we were playing the championship game
against the Cardinals!
We were getting creamed! They knew all of our
secret plays. When I would call a play, the
other team knew what we were going to do, and
blocked the ball every time.
4
At half time, our team was down by 40 points! We
didnt know what to do.
5
Suddenly, I noticed a piece of paper stuck to
the bottom of one of the players shoes for the
Cardinals. I reached down and took it off his
shoe and read it.
6
Now I knew what was happening! It was a receipt
for a spy cam. The Cardinals had bugged our
locker room! Thats how they knew all of our
plays.
7
Then I called the team into a huddle and I
changed all of the plays so the other team would
be confused.
8
Suddenly, we were getting points like crazy! We
couldnt be stopped!
9
The fans were going wild! The Cardinals couldnt
figure out what had happened. We just kept
scoring points!
10
At the end of the game, our team had 149
points and the Cardinals had only 62 points.
We won the game and the Championship!

After the game, I showed the receipt to the
referee. The other team was disqualified from
playing the next season. They learned that
cheating is wrong. Its more important to play
fair than it is to win.
