Once upon a time there was a poor town in Rome, Italy. The year was 1997.

There was a boy named Rafeal. He was beyond poor. He was so poor that days can past without him eating. He tried to find a job, but no one is accepted him. 

 

Rafeal tried to find a job to put food in his mouth and his mother's, Eva, and his little sister's, Clara.

The problem was that he could not write nor read, so nobody accepted him to work.

In his search for a job, Rafeal passed through a poster of Dytona Cup car race which was his biggest passion.

He wanted to take a part in Dytona Cup, and race because he knew he could win the race, but he knew that he didn't have the car nor the money to get in the race.

 

At the end of the day of him searching for a job he was too tired that he fell a sleep in the street.

Rafeal opened his eyes and found himself in a garage. He recognized that it was the garage of six times world champion, Bruno Mars. Bruno saw him, and he told him to get out of the shop. Rafeal asked him, "What am I doing in your garage." Bruno told him that he found him sleeping in the street and took him to his garage. Bruno did not like sleeping kids in streets. Rafeal got up and left the shop.

Before he left, he remembered the poster about the Dytona race, and thought that it would be a good idea to tell Bruno to teach him about the race and how to win it, but Bruno shouted at him and told him to get out of the shop, because Bruno had a big accident that, and that accident forced him out of racing. He lost all of his money.

Rafeal got scared and went out.

He couldn't just give up, so the next day he went back to Bruno

and teld him to teach him how to race and what rules to follow, but Bruno still didn't want to do  so. Rafeal tried with him for a week until Bruno said, "yes!"

Bruno trained Rafeal for a month and a half until the day of the race came. The car that Rafeal drove in the race was Bruno's. Bruno had funded Rafeal with money to get him in the race. That money was his life saving, so Bruno had put everything that he had in this race. Rafeal had the confidence of the world,

but he had chills when he saw the seven times champion, Julio Rodriguez. Rafeal was so scared of him.

The race was about to start, and his mother, Eva, and his little sister, Clara prayed for him.

The race had started and Rafeal had the best start, but Julio was behind him like an animal. They were head to head all of the race.

All of the crowd was supporting Julio, but Clara and Eva were the only two to support Rafeal.

The end of the race was near, and  Julio seemed to be winning until the last seconds when Rafeal overtook him, and he won by 0.3 of a second.

Rafeal won the race and with the money prize, he paid his coach, Bruno, back, and he gave his mother and sister a part of the money too. He celebrated like a crazy man.

He became the youngest  professional racer at age 17. He signed with a professional racing team. He lived a good life with his mother and sister.
