I see the bird zooming in the court.
I want to be a professional badminton player.

I touch my racket in a courageous manner.
I worry about missing the birds.
I cry when I got defeated.
I am a little boy who likes to play badminton.

I dream I was play badminton during the Olympic.
I try to outright my dream.
I am a little boy who likes to play badminton.
