Mia was six years old and loved playing basketball. Her team was up against the Red Foxes in a big game, and the score was close. With just a few minutes left, Mia's team had nine points while the Red Foxes had ten.

Mia's coach called out, "We need one more point to tie! Who wants to try?" Without hesitation, Mia said, "I can do it!" She felt a little scared, but she knew she had to try. The coach nodded and said, "Okay, Mia, go for it!"

Mia took the ball and dribbled down the court. Everyone was watching, and her heart was beating fast. As she got close to the hoop, a player from the Red Foxes stood in front of her. Mia stopped and took a deep breath, remembering all the practice she had done.

Mia took a step back and jumped up, throwing the ball with all her might. The ball flew through the air, and Mia held her breath, hoping it would go in. The ball bounced off the backboard and then swished through the net, tying the game!
