The Rainy Day Challenge (Oxford 3000 Vocabulary Series)
Estimated reading time: 0:44s
Tom had to push his bike up the hill because the rain made the path too slippery to ride. He didn’t wanna quit even though his friends had already won the race. The rail on the bridge was wet, but he held on tight. At the top, he saw the rain had stopped, and a beautiful rare rainbow stretched across the sky. He checked his watch and realized he had set a new personal best rate for climbing the hill. With a smile, he took a moment to read a sign that said, welcome to the top. Feeling proud, he knew this experience was real and that his rank in the race didn’t matter. He had conquered the hill and that was a victory in itself.
