Portrait of an OlymPIG...Hopes and Dreams Beating Within His Piggy-Heart!

Behind the scenes, an ordinary guinea pig aspires to greatness.
Only he knows the hopes and dreams he keeps tucked secretly inside...dreams pigZ around him only say will - no, could! -
NEVER COME TRUE!

He puts in countless hours of practice, struggling to believe in himself.  Team-mates make fun of him, roll their eyes, and leave him alone on the bench to guard the carrots and salad...still, even
left alone, ridiculed, the butt of jokes, he practices, never losing hope, never giving up, never leaving any carrots or salad for them.
(heh-heh!)
WAIT!
TEAM-MATES ARE INJURED IN A HEAD
COLLISION, BOTH KNOCKING THE OTHER SILLY...BOTH CARRIED OFF THE FIELD,
LIKE RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER, YUM-YUM'S MOMENT HAS COME! HE IS CALLED TO THE FIELD IN
OVERTIME, THE ONLY PLAYER CAPABLE
OF HEADING THE BALL INTO THE GOAL!
One guinea pig, one solitary, ridiculed guinea pig
who refused to give up hope, and it all comes down to him in the game's final seconds.
Can YumYum prove them all wrong or has he been deluding himself?
"Shake it off, pig," he whispers to himself.
"Your moment has come. This is no time for doubt.
Your moment has come!"

He prepares.
He runs, he kicks, the ball...flying over
every piggie's head with unprecedented
speed and razor-sharp precision!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD!
Always believe in yourself and
nevah, NEVAH-EVAH, give up!
WITHIN EVERY BEATING HEART
LIVES A TRUE HERO, AND THAT
TRUE HERO IS YOU!
US!
WE!
Everybody. Whoever. Or Whomever. Or Whatever. 
{Moral of Story: don't leave a guinea pig to guard your salad.}
