Number One
 
It's Saturday morning. Rain, hail or sunshine, I get up early, and get dressed in my rugby league gear: black shorts, green-and-yellow socks, and a bright yellow jersey with green stripes and a big black number 10 on the back. 
"Your jersey's number 10," 1 Mum, "but you're my number one!" 
2 get to the grounds, and 3 wait to play. 
Mum whispers in 4 ear. "Watch the ball all the 5, son." 
The whistle blows. The other guys kick the ball. 6 all run towards it. I hear  7 Mum's voice.
"The ball, Te Hiko –8 the ball!" 
Where is it? I run. There it is! Then 9 hear my Mum's voice! 
"Grab the 10, son. Go!" I pick it up and run. Mum calls out, "Hold on 11 the ball, Te Hiko!" 
I try 12 pass it to my mates, but 13 in the way. I tuck it 14 my arm and run for the 15. Oops! I'm tackled, and I crash 16 the ground. I've lost the ball. 17 scramble to my feet. 
I've had enough. But Mum's voice 18 in the air, "Get the ball, !" 19. 
There it is! I grab it 20 run. Suddenly the goal line disappears. I can't hear my Mum 21 more. I crash to the ground 22. And then the whistle blows. Too 23 to score. I've blown it again. I look around for Mum. And 24 she is, all smiles. It's just 25 announced that I'm player of the ! 26 
She gives me a big hug. "27 you, son," she says. "I told 28 you're my number one!"
