    Genre: Informational Text
    In an informational text, an
    author writes about facts or real
    events.
    “Playing It Safe” is about top
    athletes around the world and
    their superstitious behavior.
    Genre: Tall Tale
    A tall tale is a story with
    exaggeration. When you
    exaggerate, you say something
    is bigger or grander than it
    actually is. Some parts of a tall
    tale are realistic. Other parts
    are exaggerations—they cannot
    possibly be true.
    “Lagarto, Lagarto” is about a boy
    and the unluckiest day of his life.

    Developing a Story
    Authors usually tell stories
    by listing events in the order
    they happen. But they also
    develop the story in other
    ways. For example, they may
    repeat a sentence or phrase
    throughout a story. This ties
    the events together and
    helps readers remember an
    important idea in the story.

    Lagarto, Lagarto
    by Dan Anthony
    108 Topic 6
    Lexi squashed his nose up against the glass, trying to make out the palm
    trees on the square. The rain was so heavy it was like staring into an aquarium.
    He expected to see a jellyfish float by any second.
    “Lagarto, lagarto,” he muttered.
    But nothing changed. This was still the unluckiest day of his life.
    Outside the little café, the rain lightened up a little. Lexi could see the square
    now. The metal covers on the drains popped up and geysers of foaming water
    spluttered upwards. Lexi’s eyes widened as he looked for the streets that led up to
    the castle. There were no streets that Lexi could see. They had all become
    fast-moving rivers.
    If we weren’t on a hill, thought Lexi, as he gazed at a partially submerged bus,
    the square really would have filled up with water. And we’d all have been washed away.
    109Lagarto, Lagarto
    He looked like a drowned rat. Pools of water spread out from around his shoes. His new high
    school uniform stuck to his skin. His hair dripped. His nose steamed.
    “Soda?” a voice asked.
    Lexi turned. He looked up. Standing next to him was Pepe—a tall boy of about seventeen.
    Lexi was only twelve, and still very short.
    “I had to come here,” said Lexi. “To see the game.”
    “What?” said Pepe, strolling back to his coffee machine behind the counter. “Nobody’s going
    to be watching football tonight. The only customers I’m going to get will be fish.”
    Lexi moved away from the window and sat on one of the big stools opposite Pepe.
    “Can we share the soda?” asked Lexi.
    Pepe looked at Lexi, then at the empty tables, then at the fifty cents Lexi was holding out.
    It was dripping wet, too. Usually the café was packed with people. But thanks to the rain, all he
    had was one customer who couldn’t even buy a drink.
    110 Topic 6
    Pepe opened a can. He slammed it on the counter.
    “It’s on the house. Don’t tell the boss. And get dry.”
    Pepe handed Lexi some of the towels he used to dry the dishes. Lexi’s eyes moved up toward the
    television. They were playing music videos.
    “I had to come in. Can you get the football on the telly? At home my aunt says ‘it’s homework
    or nothing’ on weekdays.”
    Pepe shrugged and started flicking through the channels. He doesn’t pay, he wants to watch
    TV and he makes the floor slippy—what’s up?
    Lexi knew Pepe. His aunt and Pepe’s uncle had once been on a date. But it didn’t work out.
    According to Lexi’s aunt, there was no spark.
    “Can I tell you a secret?” asked Lexi, sipping his soda.
    Pepe stopped chewing. He took the damp towels back and hung them on the hooks on his side
    of the counter.
    “Of course,” said Pepe. “I’m a barista now, I get to keep a lot of secrets.”
    “My luck’s run out. No matter how hard I try to bring it back—it’s gone, and now I’m in real
    trouble,” said Lexi.
    111Lagarto, Lagarto
    “Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been so
    careful…” Lexi mumbled.
    Pepe looked quizzically at his
    penniless young customer, in his damp
    high school uniform, with his brand new
    short haircut.
    “You are a kid,” sighed Pepe.
    Lexi ignored Pepe. “When I was a
    kid, I used to walk to the square to catch
    the primary school bus,” he explained.
    “One day, as I was walking past the bank,
    someone called out to me. Do you know
    who that someone was?”
    Pepe’s eyes widened a little.
    “Karl-Heinz???” he asked.
    Everybody knew Karl-Heinz. Though
    no one could remember exactly when he
    arrived on the square. The story was that
    he’d come on holiday from Germany years
    ago. He liked the warm weather so much
    he never went back. Karl-Heinz sat on the
    pavement between the bank and the café,
    begging for money behind his upturned
    hat. He watched people come and go in the
    square. After a few years, people realized
    that Karl-Heinz knew more about people
    in the town than even the bank manager.
    Recently, he’d put on a little weight and
    he even looked a bit like a bank manager.
    Karl-Heinz called the space behind his hat
    “his office” because so many people went
    there for advice. His advice was so accurate,
    he had become something of a lucky
    charm to the people in the town.
    Topic 6112
    “My uncle told me to give Karl-Heinz a coffee in
    the morning and one in the afternoon, and not to
    charge him,” said Pepe, “for good luck.”
    “My aunt always drops a euro in his hat,” said
    Lexi, “for good luck.”
    “It was Karl-Heinz who told my uncle to open
    this café,” added Pepe. “He said that the people
    who go to the bank, who wait at the bus stops on
    the square and who shop in the supermarket all
    need a coffee. Karl-Heinz was right. This place is a
    success—that’s why my uncle gave me a job.”
    Lexi shivered as he thought about what Karl-
    Heinz had told him. “That day I went to catch
    the bus,” he whispered, “Karl-Heinz told me I
    was unlucky. He said I’d lost my mum and dad
    because of bad luck. He also said I could improve
    my luck.”
    Pepe bit into some fresh gum and turned the
    volume down on the TV. He could see the football
    program from the stadium. The ground was only
    a couple of kilometers from the café. That evening
    Alicante CF of the second division were due to take
    on the mighty Real Madrid. It was going to be
    a bloodbath. Alicante didn’t stand a chance.
    “This is what Karl-Heinz told me to do when I
    was a kid,” continued Lexi, ‘”to have good luck—
    so I didn’t lose anyone else.”
    Pepe chewed.
    Lexi took a deep breath, “Don’t step on a
    crack in the pavement. Don’t walk under ladders.
    Always walk up the last two stairs on any staircase
    backwards. Never eat the last chip on a plate.
    Count to nine before you go to sleep. And if you
    see a dog, never move until you find another one.”
    113Lagarto, Lagarto
    Pepe interrupted. “He didn’t tell me to do those things. All he said to me was ‘if you can make a
    good cup of coffee, you’ll be a rich man.’”
    “Oh…and if you see an accident, or some bad luck,” added Lexi, “say ‘lagarto, lagarto.’”
    Pepe laughed, “Who’s ever heard of ‘lagarto, lagarto’?”
    Just then a glass fell off the rack on the back of the counter and it shattered on the floor.
    Never doubt anything Karl-Heinz says, thought Lexi.
    “Lagarto, lagarto,” muttered Lexi as Pepe grabbed the dustpan and broom and began sweeping
    up the mess.
    “So what did you do?” asked Pepe, spitting his gum into the bin as he shook the glass from the
    dustpan.
    “Before last night, I always said ‘lagarto, lagarto’, I never once stepped on a crack in the
    pavement, walked under ladders or ate the last chip on a plate. I always walked up the last two stairs
    backwards and I always counted to nine before I went to sleep. I was the most cautious person in
    town!” said Lexi. “Look how Karl-Heinz’s advice worked for us both—you’ve got a job and I haven’t
    lost anyone else. But now something’s gone seriously wrong.”
    “Oh, yeah?” asked Pepe. “If you’ve been so careful, what’s happened to change your luck?”
    “This morning Karl-Heinz told me to watch out at the new high school. He said some of the other
    kids were mean. He said he’d give me something so they wouldn’t push me around.” Lexi responded.
    114 Topic 6
    Pepe thought for a minute. “He’s right. When I was in high school, they pushed me around. I spent
    my first year in goals fetching the ball back for the big kids.”
    Lexi looked directly at Pepe and sighed, “Karl-Heinz told me to tell them Alicante would beat Real,
    7 to 0.”
    “In tonight’s game? Are you serious?!? There’s NO WAY Alicante can beat Real Madrid! I know
    Karl-Heinz said it, but…you didn’t actually tell anyone that, did you?” asked Pepe, incredulously.
    “You know what it’s like,” moaned Lexi. “The school is massive. I don’t know anyone in my class.
    Everyone and everything is strange there. The teacher introduced himself. Then he asked us all to say
    out loud who we were and to say one interesting thing about ourselves. Most people said how old they
    were, or where they lived or what pets they had. When it came to me, you can guess what I said.”
    Pepe shook his head and started to speak, “You didn’t…”
    Lexi interrupted, “I told them that my name was Alexis Juan Jose Morales, and that I knew Real
    Madrid would lose to Alicante by 7 goals to 0.”
    Lexi hung his head, remembering what had happened earlier in the day.
    Pepe looked at Lexi in sympathy and said quietly, “They laughed at you, didn’t they?”
    “Yeah,” said Lexi miserably, “But then I told them it was Karl-Heinz who told me.”
    “Well,” said Pepe slowly, “if Karl-Heinz said it, maybe Alicante will win. And if that’s the case,
    why are you so worried?”
    115Lagarto, Lagarto
    “Because!” Lexi yelled, “Last night I didn’t walk up the last two stairs backwards, I ate all the
    chips on my plate and I forgot to count to nine before going to bed!!”
    Pepe looked at him in shock.
    “Now everyone in school wants to be my friend. They think I’m cool because Karl-Heinz gives
    me advice!” Lexi said angrily. “And on my way here, I ran into two classmates. They said their
    mums and dads, their friends, their relations…they’re all betting on my scores. Karl-Heinz’s scores!”
    Pepe shook his head. “Man. You are NOT going to be very popular tomorrow. Maybe you
    should stop going to school.”
    Lexi looked up with a gleam of hope in his eyes, “Maybe I should. Maybe I should quit school
    and get a job. I’m only twelve but there’s got to be something I can do.”
    “C’mon, Lexi! I was only joking!” said Pepe. “You can’t quit school.”
    “But I have to do something! Kids at school are going to hate me!” Lexi cried.
    Pepe thought for a moment and said, “Well, there’s only one thing I can think of…”
    “What?” said Lexi excitedly.
    “We have to go see Karl-Heinz. He’ll know what to do.” Pepe said confidently. “Let me get a
    coffee for him and we’ll go.”
    116 Topic 6
    The rain had all but stopped. The streets were still wet but they no longer looked like raging
    rivers. And Karl-Heinz had taken up his position again between the café and the bank.
    Lexi waited as Pepe locked the café and pocketed the keys. Then they walked toward the town’s
    lucky charm.
    “I’ve been expecting you,” Karl-Heinz called out to the boys. “You didn’t follow my advice for
    improving your luck last night, Lexi.”
    Lexi looked at his shoes, too embarrassed to say anything.
    Pepe handed him the coffee without saying a word.
    “Well,” said Karl-Heinz, “there may still be something we can do.”
    The man thought for a moment. Then he thought some more.
    “Lagarto, lagarto,” muttered Lexi, praying for the bad
    luck to end.
    Karl-Heinz laughed, “That’s a start, but it’s not enough.
    You need to go to the middle of the square, hop on one
    leg and say ‘lagarto, lagarto’ a hundred times.”
    Pepe laughed.
    Karl-Heinz looked closely at Pepe and said,
    “And you have to do it, too.”
    Pepe’s mouth fell open, but no words appeared.
    Lexi looked up at Pepe, his eyes begging him to
    do as Karl-Heinz said. Pepe only sighed and
    nodded. The boys then silently turned
    and walked toward the center of
    the square.
    Lagarto, lagarto.

    Serena Williams
    What is the secret to tennis star Serena Williams's success on the court? Do you
    think it's the hours she spends practicing tennis? Is it all the time she spends lifting
    weights? Is it her intense concentration? All those factors certainly play their role.
    But could the key to her championship play be her stinky socks?
    Serena Williams is like many top athletes. She has a superstition, or an
    irrational belief in the near-magical power of doing a certain thing in a certain way.
    Deep down, these athletes probably do not really believe that their unusual actions
    actually produce success, but they don't take any chances, either. After all, whatever
    they did before worked! They seem to follow a simple rule: if you find something
    that works, keep doing it. Play it safe if you play to win.
    Serena's Socks
    As a tennis player, Serena
    Williams competes in tournaments
    around the world. The rules of a
    tournament are simple. Win and
    you go to the next round. Lose
    and you go home. Keep winning
    and you go all the way to the final
    round, and the victor of that match
    is the champion.
    Williams follows her own simple
    rule: Whatever socks she is wearing
    when she wins her first round match
    becomes her footwear for the duration. As long as she keeps winning, she keeps
    putting the same pair of socks on her feet. It doesn't matter how worn or smelly
    they get in a match. She will put them back on for the next match.
    Once she loses, the socks are history. Then she looks through her dresser
    drawer to find the next pair of lucky socks.
    120 Topic 6
    Michael’s Shorts and Rafa’s Feet
    Serena is not the only athlete to have a superstition based on
    special clothing. When he played for the Chicago Bulls, basketball
    star Michael Jordan always wore a pair of shorts from his college
    team under his Bulls uniform. It's hard to argue with a guy who
    won six NBA championships, though.
    However, clothing is not the only way athletes try to capture
    good luck. Athletes follow a wide range of habits, or repeated
    actions, that show their superstitious side. Spain’s Rafael Nadal
    might be the champion of superstitions as well as tennis. He
    has nineteen different routines that he follows when playing a
    match. They start with how he carries his racket and bag when he
    arrives on the court. Every time Nadal goes onto to the court, he
    makes sure he crosses the line with his right foot first.
    Is Nadal crazy? Perhaps—but he’s also a winner. He’s the
    first tennis player to win at least one of the four Grand Slam
    tournaments each year for ten years in a row. So if you’re
    thinking of becoming a tennis pro, you might want to add
    crossing lines with your right foot to your training!
    Other Superstitions
    Do you think eating chicken has nothing to do with hitting
    a baseball? Don't tell retired star Wade Boggs that! Boggs made
    sure he ate chicken before every ballgame. He thought it brought
    him luck. Had he lost touch with reality? Could be, but Boggs was
    definitely in touch with how to hit a baseball. He believed that
    eating that chicken helped him collect more than 3,000 hits in his
    eighteen-year career and put him in his sport's hall of fame.
    Wade Boggs didn’t limit himself to food superstitions. He also
    counted on following a fixed routine before each game. He took
    batting practice at exactly the same time before every game.
    He ran sprints to warm up precisely two hours after that practice.
    Michael Jordan
    Rafael Nadal
    121Playing It Safe
    Hockey star Sidney Crosby has a different approach
    to performing at his peak. Crosby is the only person
    allowed to tape his hockey sticks. If anyone else does it,
    he removes the tape and does it again. He also comes to
    center ice exactly five minutes before the beginning of
    each game and stops to tie the laces on his skates. Not
    surprisingly in someone so fixed in his habits, he always
    ties them the same way. Every single time, he ties the
    right skate first and then the left.
    Hairy Times
    Sometimes whole teams give way to superstition. All
    the Pittsburgh Penguins—Crosby's teammates—grew
    beards when the team began its 2016 playoff run for the
    Stanley Cup. Every single one of them. Playoff beards
    have been around in hockey since the early 1980s. That’s
    when the New York Islanders wore their beards proudly
    on the way to win four straight Stanley Cups. With that
    kind of success, it’s little wonder that several teams
    follow the tradition each year. The beards are lucky
    charms, something that is supposed to bring good luck
    and winning ways.
    Hockey playoff beards have also sprouted up outside
    the National Hockey League and even beyond the sport.
    College and high school hockey teams have been known
    to grow good-luck beards. A couple of baseball players
    on the Boston Red Sox team let their beards grow in the
    spring of 2013. As the team kept winning, more players
    grew beards. By the time the Sox were in the World
    Series, only one player was without a beard. They won
    the World Series in spite of his risky behavior.

    Are They Serious?
    Why do these athletes have these superstitions? What purpose do these habits and
    routines serve? Psychologists say that superstitions serve an important function. They
    help athletes believe that they can control events that are actually beyond their control.
    That sense of control gives the athletes some piece of mind. They gain the all-important
    confidence, or belief in themselves, that allows them to compete at the highest level.
    On the other hand, athletes who doubt themselves generally don't perform at their best.
    Confident athletes, though, are ready to take on anything.
    That sense of control is important. Athletes confront many challenges. Weather can change the
    flight of a ball if the game is played outdoors. A delay to your starting time can hurt your mental focus.
    And there’s always the biggest challenge—you’re competing against another top athlete.
    So along with everything they do to prepare for a match, athletes also try to make sure they’re lucky.
    Even if that means following centuries-old superstitions. Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo makes
    sure he steps onto the field right foot first. That’s not all—Ronaldo has a special way to ensure good luck in
    the second half of a game. After the halftime break, he returns to
    the field with a different hairstyle than he had in the first half.
    Still a Doubter?
    Still think all these superstitions are crazy? Think about American
    gymnast Danell Leyva before you decide. He carries a lucky towel
    to every competition and drapes it over his head when he’s waiting
    for his turn. At one 2016 event, he forgot his towel. He had one of
    his worst performances ever and even fell off the parallel bars. Not
    surprisingly, Leyva remembered the towel when he went to Brazil for
    the Olympics later in 2016. The towel lucky charm worked. He took
    two silver medals—including one in the parallel bars.
    So Serena Williams's lucky footwear might not be the thing that
    makes her so good after all. Still, older sister Venus—also a tennis
    champion—might want to look for the socks she wore when she last
    defeated Serena, in 2014. After all, Serena has won sixteen of the
    other twenty-six times the sisters played each other. Maybe there's
    something to those socks after all!
