In the last period, Coach Marks called me to his room. He said he wanted to talk to me about something.

He had his face buried in a pile of papers. He looked up when I came in.

"Oh, Andrew. Sit here." He said. "I wanted to talk to you about basketball."

"Sir, I am not participating in basketball this year." I said.

He looked astonished. Then he began to laugh.

"You're joking, right?" He asked.

"Of course not, sir." I said.

His expression changed. He saw that I was serious.

"But.....but why are you doing this? You are the basketball king, Andrew." He said.

"Sir, I'm tired of playing basketball. This year, I'm going to participate in monkey bars." I said.

"Monkey bars? Are you sure you can win?" He asked.

"You're talking about winning? I'm going to set a world record; clinging to the monkey bars for the most time." I said.

"Alright, future world-record holder." He grinned.

He thinks I am joking. Everybody thinks I am mad. Perhaps, they will respect after I hold a world-record.

I walked to home. Only a few weeks to go. Then I'll be a world-record holder.

"The future world-record holder enters the classroom." I said while sitting on my seat.

"Andrew, you shouldn't brag so much." Luke said to me.

"Why?" I asked.

"What if you couldn't set the world-record......." He said.

"Are you joking? What on earth can stop me from setting the world-record now?" I said.

Luke sighed.
