Being a professional in sports disciplines is certainly a tough task and not easy for everyone to handle.
Perfection is every professional's target. However, in sports it requires both hard physical and mental training, as well as all kind of sacrifices.
With such serious regimens, sport stars have to keep themselves prepared and competitive by invading other sports.
To master their own games, they must embrace a variety of activities, such as fitness and bodybuilding, cycling and swimming, and, to top it all off, tranquil meditation and revitalizing massages.
As I am not a fanatic when it comes to sports, I’ve decided to speak about an unknown but successful hero. The guy believed in nothing but success and winning, until one day he fell heavily as a victim to the first harsh defeat of his sporting career.
Everyone who praised him before turned out to bomb him to death with an avalanche of criticism. The press was no exception; they poured all their venom in order to make his life bitter, and they showed him absolutely no mercy.
To evade this unhealthy and unexpected atmosphere, he drove frenetically to his beloved refuge—a little house near the shore, a place far from everything, made just for relaxing and forgetting the negative elements of life.
Once he got there, a great serenity rolled over his body and soul. In just a few moments, he slept as deeply and calmly as a baby.
The next day, he awoke in high spirits with persuasive concepts clearly in his mind: that life has rises and falls, ups and downs, wins and defeats.
So he completely enjoyed that beautiful sunny day.
That night, he met a neighbor who advised him to go to a new Turkish-style club for massages and meditation. Feeling happy, he drove to the place, even though he was warned that there were rumors that the place was haunted.
Once there, he was received like a prince by the owner and so started his relaxation in a beautiful Jacuzzi. After some minutes he heard a sound, kind of like low-splashing water. There was a cute black cat that was swimming in the other Jacuzzi behind him.
Surprised, he turned his face with a smile and said playfully, "What the hell are you doing, little creature?"
The cat, thoroughly unimpressed by the words, went on with its swimming and suddenly looked him straight in the eyes and said, "What the f*** are you doing?"
At that very moment, he almost lost consciousness, having witnessed a talking cat! Without looking back at the weird creature, he managed to run outside the Jacuzzi, fumbling and stumbling on his way to see the owner.
Hiding his feelings of shock and panic, he simply said to the owner: "The Jacuzzi sucks, it’s really disgusting...I just want to have my massage and then leave!"
The owner calmly answered: "Sure, sir...go to the room on your left and enjoy the best massage of your life!"
Our sports star went straight to the massage room; on the way, he tried hard to master his nerves and forget the crazy scene. The masseuse was a kind young man who received him warmly and enthusiastically. Without uttering a word, he started working on our hero’s body.
A few moments later, the massage was taking its energetic and relaxing effects. Our protagonist became very happy and satisfied, and thus, after an hour, he thanked him. But before leaving the room, he noticed something so strange, something he had never seen before in his whole freakin’ existence: The young man had the feet of a camel!
This blew our man’s mind and pushed him to flee as fast as he could.
Outside he met the owner, who asked him if everything was OK. The sports star looked at him with all the panic of the world, while helplessly peeing his pants, and said in a low and shaky voice, "T-t-t-he m-m-maaan...he had the feet of..."
The owner smiled and answered maliciously, "You mean like mine?"
When our man looked down and got the glimpse of the odd scene again, he fell to the ground and started crawling to the exit door, tortured by the frightening and loud laughs of the monster.
Once in the street, he threw up his thumb in an effort to hitch a ride. A young lady stopped, and our hero, still in shock, didn’t say a single word, so they ended up in the house of the girl.
Once inside, he managed to open his mouth to say, "Please, can you do me a favour? I need to sleep because I feel exhausted and my head is certainly gonna explode!"
The beautiful lady prepared the bed and helped the man to fall in it. He looked terribly sick and altered.
The next morning, he heard a soft voice whispering in his ears, saying, "Good morning, honey."
The voice was so familiar to him that he quickly opened his eyes to see who was talking to him. To his great and pleasant surprise, the voice was his wife’s—he now realized that it was all only a nightmare.
He jumped from joy and held her tight in his arms. At that emotional and lovely moment, he saw the black cat in the bedroom...so he asked his wife nervously, "What the hell is that?"
The surprised wife answered him: "It’s our cat...did you forget about it?"
He looked at her with an anxious expression, "Yeah, yeah...I am going to ask you something...if your really love me...please don’t you ever let this freaky creature come in our bedroom again, OK? Promise?"
She replied, "OK, but what..."
But he cut in, "It’s a long story that I’ll tell when I’m back from training. See ya honey!”
