RACING 2 The girl then went to the pond, and got three buckets of clean water. She brought them back; and gave them to the animals, letting them drink their full. It was a happy day for the animals. The girl swept the floor and dusted the barn. Then she went to where the animals lived and stayed there to rest. When the next morning came, she heard a galloping noise through out door. She walked out there and found lots of other horses racing. She wanted to enter; she rode on her horse and galloped toward the racing line. She shouted, “Hey! I want to enter!” “Sweet, a new rider!” shouted a boy called Jake, “Yep!” shouted Charlie Read; “Cool!” shouted Carlos. The girl entered, and raced in front of every other boy. It was cool. It was like that the horse the girl rode was not even touching the ground; it was like that he was floating in the air and racing in front of them. Of course the girl won the race. And when she reached the finish line, she waited for 12 minutes until all the others arrived. That proved that she was so very, very fast that the other was left behind probably a long distance. The others gave her a chest, and inside were jewels and golden crowns; and even some golden coins and blue rubies. The girl couldn’t believe her luck. She ran, or galloped off home with the chest on her horse. She couldn’t wait to show her parents the treasure chest. When she returned home, she showed her parents the chest full of cool rich things; her parents were very proud indeed. It was the greatest day in all of her life. She hoped that the other days would be as great and good as usual. If you are poor, don’t look upset. Luck is out there, if you keep on with your confident.
