Biography. Arda is running in school corridors. I did it again, he thinks. I cheated again and now

enigmatic is in trouble. He stops in front of the door of the principal's office. Arda is a very

naughty student, so he visits this office once a week. But this time, his friend is in trouble

because of him. His alien friend. It's a bigger problem. Arda takes a deep breath and opens the door.

Please, Mr. Ruler, I can explain. The principal, Mr. Ruler, doesn't look angry. He is smiling.

Oh, come in, Arda. Sit down. Arda is confused. He sits down. 20 goals in one match. It's amazing.

Who is this boy? He doesn't speak to me. He is my friend, Mr. Ruler. He is here just to visit me.

I lied to my teacher. I'm sorry. It's my fault. Oh, just to visit you. He is very successful.

I want him in Magnifique. Really? But he didn't take the entrance exam.

He scored 20 goals. 20. Magnifique didn't win any international football cups. But this year,

we can win. We need good players, like enigmatic.

The physical education teacher, Mr. Runner, looks shocked.

But Mr. Ruler, I think there was something weird about that game. I can't explain it, but all players

fell down for no reason. Look at him. He can't be a great football player. He isn't well -built.

He is fat, and he can't run fast. But Mr. Ruler doesn't listen to him.

20 goals. I want this student in my school because I want that international football cup.

This year, the tournament takes place in Sunland. It is a very powerful country.

Make a team, Mr. Runner. These players are going to Sunland next month. I want success.

They say the Queen of Sunland can come to watch these tournaments too.

We can't fail when she is watching. The Queen? Okay, I want to go there. But I want Arda in the team too.

Arda? No, no, no. He doesn't obey the rules, and the referee always shows him a red card.

He can't come with us. Arda must come too, or I don't go.

Arda looks at his friend and smiles. He is my new best friend, he thinks.

Fine. Arda can be in the team too.

Later, he comes and stands in front of Arda. He looks at his eyes.

If you make another mistake in that game, you say goodbye to Magnific.

I want that cup. Do you understand me, Arda?

Yeah, yes, I do.

Later, Mr. Ruler gives them three papers.

All players must write their biographies. These are three samples. Read these biographies

and write your own biography.

Enigmatic and Arda leave the principal's office. Arda jumps with happiness in the corridor.

The International Football Tournament. It's awesome.

You are my best, best, best, best friend now, Enigmatic.

Thanks, but we have a problem, Arda. We must write a biography. What's a biography?

Oh, yes. Let's read these biographies.

Arda and Enigmatic go to the library and start reading the sample biographies.

H. Harda looks at enigmatic. He is shocked.

You are a successful alien space soldier. They can't send everyone to space, right?

Why did you get divorced? Because of the distance. She is in Messier 87,

and I'm usually on other planets. We can't see each other very often.

And what about these war medals? Did you fight against other planets? Why?

Enigmatic thinks for a while.

We had our reasons.

We can't give this biography to Mr Rula. He thinks you are a seventh grade student

from Machu Picchu. Oh, give me the pen. I can write a fake biography for you.

there to get a good education. He is a seventh grade student now. He is handsome with brown hair

and brown eyes. He is also very smart and funny. F.

Which of the following does Harda write about in his biography? Tick.

Enigmatic reads Harda's biography.

Smart, handsome and funny. That's the truth. I'm smart, handsome and funny.

Anyway, let's give these to Mr Rula.

But Enigmatic stops him.

Do you think we can find information about the Queen of Sunland in this library?

Harda looks around.

Sure, there are many books here and she is a well -known person.

He goes near the shelves and takes a book.

Here, the name of this book is Sunland. I'm sure there is some information about her in it.

Enigmatic turns the pages and he finds the page about the Queen of Sunland.

Gee, fill in the blanks with the correct titles.

After reading the book about Queen Madeline, they leave the library.

Harda is thoughtful. He is silent. He remembers the aliens' real biography.

Space wars, invention of powerful space guns and bombs, can Harda really trust him?

But he can't be a bad person. He is great. He is my best friend. A voice in Harda's mind says.

I'm in the school team and I can win the International Football Cup. He helped me to be in the team.

Wait for us, Sunland. We are coming to get the football cup.
