Introduction
This is the story of a boy who grew up to be a great footballer。 His name is pele, and hewas born in brazil。 He played in four world cups between 1958 and 970 and he is probably themost famous footballer ever.
This is how it all happened…
Chapter 1 Pele Dream
It all started in 1940 when pele was born in a small village。
Pele's father was a professional footballer, but a serious injury meant that he never made much money from the game.
So pele’s family was quite poor。
Pele did lots of jobs to help his parents。 But he also played football in the streets with his friends。
He decided he wanted to be a footballer like his father. Pele’s mother didn't like the idea。
Chapter 2 pele plays for santos
Nothing was going to stop pele making his dream come true.
He played for several local teams, then at the age of 15 he was given a trial by a big club called santos. He was very， and santos took him on。
Pele’s mother cried when pele told her， it meant her son would have to leave home to live
in the city。
Pele was homesick too。 But he stuck it out， and he soon had his reward。 He scored a goal in his first game for team。
Chapter 3 pele—the black pearl
It was the first goal of many . within a year, pele had a scored 32 goals for his club.
Then he was chosen to play for his country， brazil。 In his first two international games， he scored three goals.
Soon football fans started calling him “the black pearl”.
Pele was still only 16。 There was a world cup coming up in Sweden, and he wondered if he would be picked for the team.
He listened closely when the players were announced on the radio 。。he had to sit down when he heard his name.
Pele was 17 when he arrived in Sweden in 1958.he was the youngest player in the Brazilian team。 He was quite small for a footballer， and very skinny， but everyone was expecting great things from him.
Chapter 4 pele's first world cup
Pele had a knee injury， and he didn’t play until brazil’s third game， against the soviet union. But he scored a goal in the next match against wales, a 1-0 win.
Then， in the semi-final game against France， Pele scored a brilliant hat-trick-three goals in one game！
Thanks to pele， his country's team was in the world cup final.
Chapter 5 Champions of the World！
Brazil were playing against Sweden. The game started badly for brazil-Sweden were leading， 1—0。 But before long brazil were 2-1 in the lead。 Then, in the second half, pele scored twice。
In the end brazil won 5-2-they were the champions of the world!
Pele's team mates carried him round the pitch on their shoulders. It was a wonderful moment.
But there were troubles ahead….
Chapter 6 Injury
Pele became famous all around the world。 He travelled to many countries with santos。 He played almost 100 matches a year。 It was very tiring and very hard on the body of a young player.
Then in the 1962 world cup in Chile, pele played in the first game, but he was injured in the second。
Now he was out of the tournament.
Pele watched sadly as brazil went on to win the cup without him。 He wondered if he would ever play for brazil again。
Pele did recover, and he did play for brazil again in the world cup in England in 1966. But everything went wrong for Brazil and for pele. He became injured again and was fouled time after time.
Brazil lost -they were out.
England won the final, but a sad pele was already back in Brazil。
Chapter 7 Goal 1000！
This time pele was so tired he said he would never play in another world cup. He knew he would always be a target for the hard men in other teams, and he didn't want to be badly hurt.
For a while， pele thought that football might have lost its magic…
But pele's love of the game was bound to return。 He kept playing for Santos， and he kept scoring goals.
Then, in 1969， he hit the net for the 1000th time! Pele was 29, a married man with children， and now the most famous and important player on earth.
Another world cup was coming up in Mexico in 1970。 Pele was asked to play， and he almost said no 。 then he changed his mind and said yes。 He left he still had something to prove。
Lots of people said he couldn't play in a world cup without getting injured. Pele wanted to show that they were wrong. He knew it was going to be difficult.
There were several very strong teams in it. England were the world champions， and the Italian team looked very tough.
Chapter 8 Pele Comes Back
The Brazilian team spent three months together in a training camp, and everybody worked hard。 
Pele couldn’t wait for the tournament to begin … 
Brazil did well. They won against five countries, including England。 Now they were to play in the final -—- against Italy! 
Over 107，000 people crammed into the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City to watch the game --- and 600 million people round the world watched it on television。 
Brazil attacked from the kick—off, but the Italian team seemed very strong. Then Pele hit a powerful header past the Italian keeper. Brazil were 1—0 up， and it seemed nothing could stop then from wining the cup now。
But the Brazilian team gave away a stupid goal —-— the score was 1-1 … 
Brazil soon came back， though。 They scored a second goal， then Pele set up another goal for one of his team mates. 
But the best goal was the last. Pele had the ball, and his captain， Carlos Alberto, was steaming up on his right。 Pele waited till the last moment， then made a brilliant pass to Carlos Alberto who blasted the ball into the back of the net。  
Brazil 4, Italy 1！ 
Pele never played in another World Cup and retired as a player in 1977. 
He is still involved in the sport and does lots of charity work around the world。 
Chapter 9 the king of football！
But no one will ever forget the day in Mexico when Brazil won the World Cup for the third time -—- and showed that football could be a beautiful game. 
And at the heart of the greatest team was the greatest player —-- Pele —-- the man the Brazilians call o rei --- the King of Football!
