Title: The Million-Dollar Throw

As the big day gets closer the more Nate prepares. His
mother and him made a little project for themselves. One day after school Nate
ran up to his room and pulled out his “Gillette” painting that Abby made him
with him on thanksgiving night throwing that football through the hole and
winning 1 million dollars solving all of his families financial problems. Right then and there he had an inspiration to
make his own hole, the same size that he will be throwing in on thanksgiving
night. So he asked his mom for help and as easy as making cookies they were done.
One thing that I found interesting is that when Nate backed
up to the 30 yard distance needed his mom asked him to miss so that she could
see if the whole thing was sturdy enough. So he backed up aligned his arm and
threw the ball…He got the ball in. His mom then said, “I thought I told you to
miss”, “I tried,” said Nate. So he tried again and got it in, and then one more
time and he finally missed and sure enough the hole was sturdy enough.
