My favorite game
Of all the games, I like tennis best. Tennis is the king of the games, and all the well-to –do and fashionable people like to play it. It is a favorite game of the cultured and the refined.
In have my reasons for liking tennis more than any other game. First of all, tennis is not as violent as hockey or football ii. It is physically impossible for a weak man like me to bear the heavy strain of their hockey or football. Only those who are exceptionally strong and sturdy can bear the strain of hockey or football.
Secondly, why I prefer tennis to any other game it that tennis is not so risky, as hockey, football or cricket. A ball in hockey many strike your bone and leave it broken for life. A hard kick at football many dislocate you knee and leave you’re crippled for ever. In cricket, the many strike your chin and break it, or hurt your nose or teeth. But no such fear need worry you in tennis. It is a safe game; even child can play it without breaking his limb or muscle. It may be argued that it is cowardly to fear danger, that a brave boy must face danger boldly and over come it rather than avoid it; but no such advice can make me like football, cricket or hockey; I strongly believe that `discretion is the better part of velour’, that it is wiser to avoid danger than to court it.
Lastly, why I like tennis is more or less personal. I confess my weakness; I am fond of playing tennis. I take a pride in playing this game. I feel it is superior to all the other games. Moreover, I derive more pleasure and satisfaction from playing tennis than from any other game. I cannot understand why other people like hockey and football better than tennis. They must be thoughtless people. Otherwise they must have decided in favor of tennis long before. A light game as tennis relaxes your body fills you with joy and satisfaction, and gives you enough exercise for the upkeep of bodily health. What more do you want? No, every man must decide in favor of tennis. It is such enjoyable game that none can resist the temptation of playing it.
I can play football and hockey besides tennis, and a little of cricket and volley –ball too; but none so well as tennis. It is the game I like most to play.
