Once there was a kid named Billy. Billy was 7 years old and loved baseball. He was really good and was one of the best players of his age. Everyone knew one day, Billy was going to be one of the best baseball players ever. Well everyone except for Billy.

You see, Billy was the only person who didn't believe in him. He struggled a lot with his confidence.

Billy's mom and dad pressured him into trying so hard to be the best he could be at baseball. They were very hard on Billy. Billy became stressed out a lot when playing baseball.

Gee wiz, I wish my parents would take it easy on me! I'm just a kid!

Billy had a really bad game one day and he was very upset. His parents were not happy with him either. Billy laid down in his bed that night and wished he never played baseball at all. He said, "I hope I never have to play baseball again."

Billy cried himself to sleep that night hoping to never even have to look at a baseball again.

However, something strange happened to Billy that night. As Billy went to sleep, he had a very strange dream. Billy's favorite baseball player, Babe Ruth, appeared to him in his dream! Billy was standing in Yankee Stadium talking to THE Babe Ruth! Billy couldn't believe it. "Babe Ruth, what are we doing here!" The Babe responded, "Well Billy, I heard you were having some baseball problems."

Billy told the Babe that he hated baseball because everyone was so hard on him. The Babe told Billy, "Billy you play baseball to have fun. The more fun you have the better you play!" Billy knew he wasn't enjoying his favorite thing lately. The Babe said, "Billy I heard the big championship game is coming up this Saturday. I know you're pretty nervous kid, but just remember, the more fun you have the better you play!" Billy thanked the Babe and told him he would quit worrying about how he played and to just have fun!

Billy got up the next morning excited as could be. He had no more worry or fear of playing baseball. He told his parents about his dream and to his surprise, they believed him. His parents then told Billy that they were sorry for putting so much pressure on him. They told him they were proud and they would never do that again!
