Talk to coach about putting on weight.
by: Unknown
(Maybe I'll talk to coach, see if I should put on some weight,) Vince thought. The next day, he approached coach after school.
"Sir... my dad's worried that I'm too small and the other guys will hurt me during a game. Do you think I should put on some weight?"
"Huh? Oh, well... Vince, I was actually going to talk to you about that." Coach invited Vince to his office. "Step on that scale."
Vince did as he was told. The needle stopped at 131 pounds. "Ok, take away about a pound for clothes and shoes, and you're one-thirty. That's pretty average for your size. When you get older, you'll be able to develop muscle mass. But for now, you probably should start putting on some weight. How about I make you a deal: you gain twenty pounds in two months, and I'll see if we can't get you on the ice more often."
"Ok!" Vince said. "Two months. I can do that!"
Vince headed home, passing a bakery on the way there. He looked in the windows longingly at the cakes.
