Practice Makes Perfect! by Antonio R.

Goku, you need to practice so you can beat Fre22a.  

Just remember, practice makes perfect.

I know, Dad.  I’m on Supersan two.  

Now, since I practiced.. I think I can beat him.  

He’ll be easy. I’ll beat him using this form.  

…

DAD!  When I was fighting him, I got beat.  

I thought you said ,  Practice Makes Perfect

It does.  You need to do it more in order to beat him. 

Get some rest, Goku.  I’ll show you my ways in the morning. 

Ok  Dad.  Good night , Dad.

Mean while Goku and Dad was training so he can train his child in the morning.  

So Goku can beat Fre22a at the tournament tomorrow morning.   

His Dad trained all night.
