One day Stuart fell and broke his leg          he was playing basketball. When they took him to the hospital, the doctor said he wouldn’t be able to play for six months. Steve went          him and brought him books on basketball. At first Stuart wasn’t going to read them. Then he began to read them and        that there were ways he could play basketball better. He began to think that books weren’t so        .

When Stuart’s leg started getting better, Steve would help him by going for walks with him.          Stuart’s doctor said he could start playing basketball again. Then Stuart showed Steve how to toss (投) for baskets. Steve found that he enjoyed it.
