A crowd of parents and students cheered as Russ and Stevie raced down the field. Russ and Stevie were champions in the three-legged race. They had won the race easily for the past three years. No matter how much they loved to win, they loved racing together more. They were best friends. In the race, Russ and Stevie took one stride at a time. They moved smoothly and perfectly. While other teams were falling and tripping over their feet, Russ and Stevie glided past them.
Both Russ and Stevie eyed the finish line, which was only few yards away. Both of them could feel that they were near the end of the race. Suddenly, the rope that tied them together snapped. Russ and Stevie broke apart and rolled to opposite ends of the race lane. They looked at each other and watched another team win the race. Russ brushed himself off first and helped Stevie up. "We'll just have to beat them next year. I guess," said Russ. Stevie replied, "Of course." They were happy as long as they did it together.
