Manny watched as one of his classmates picked up a spare on Lane 4. He picked up his ball and threw it near the gutter. It barely stayed on the lane and it knocked down four pins. He shook his head in frustration and then heard a noise. He picked up his towel and noticed a strange looking man standing by the rack. He was holding a red bowling ball.
" Good afternoon" he said with a strange grin as he put his ball on the rack. " Would you mind if I practice on Lane 6?".
" No". He picked up his ball, threw it and missed the spare.
The man on Lane 6 who was wearing a red shirt, dark pants and dark sunglasses picked up his ball, threw it over the first arrow and into the pocket for a strike. " I love bowling on a lane with a six".
Manny picked up his ball, moved his feet a little to the left and threw the ball a little bit harder. The ball hung near the gutter and it knocked down seven pins. He shook his head. " Boy am I having trouble bowling today".
" So Manny I've been hearing that you've been questioning whether you want to be a christian or not?".
He picked up his ball and threw it across alley only knocking down one of the three pins. He turned toward the stranger. " How did you know my name is Manny?".
