Excerpt from The Big Race Nicole Frail
10 Brian soon disappeared around the first turn. Chelsea took a deep breath and continued to run at a quick pace. The sun was
warm and she soon grew tired, but she didn't stop. Ahead, Brian approached the finish line and as he began to celebrate, she
watched him trip over a small mound of dirt and fall to the ground,
11 As Chelsea reached the finish line, she noticed that Brian was still seated on the ground, rubbing his injured knee. Instead of
running past him and winning the race, Chelsea stooped down to help him stand. He leaned on her shoulder, and they completed
the race together
