Their jeers pierce my ears and my heart. I had lost to my once-good friend, the tortoise. Yes, I fell asleep amidst an ongoing contest, but do you think it was overconfidence? No. I was badly worn out from my early morning training.
Since my parents realized I was inclined toward sports, I’ve been training rigorously, pre and post-school, to win every medal I could. Sometimes I wish to play hide and seek with my friends like earlier, but I don’t have the time anymore.
I have let down my parents today. I fear their wrath and punishment.
Sorry Mama!!
