英語ストーリー（english story）

Title: The Team Spirit

James was a high school student who loved baseball. He could throw a ball farther than anyone on his team. One day, the coach announced that there would be a big game against another school.

James practiced every day. He pitched the ball over and over, improving his speed and control. His best friend, Kevin, helped him by catching the balls and giving advice.

The day of the game came. During the match, James made an amazing throw from the field to home base. It helped their team get an important out. The crowd cheered. But in the next inning, James suddenly threw up on the field. He had eaten something bad earlier.

The coach told him to rest, but James didn’t want to throw away this chance. With team spirit, he returned and helped his team win. After the game, they threw a party to celebrate.

Everyone learned that teamwork, not just skill, makes a great team. As James said, “It’s not just about how well you throw, but also how well you catch others when they fall.”
