This is the story of Wilma Rudolph of the USA who was the faster runner of her times.
Little Wilma was born poor. She had eighteen brothers and sisters. There was never enough to eat. When she was four years old, she became very ill and could not even walk for three years. Yet, she wanted to become the faster runner in the world!
This was her goal in life. Regular excises and massages helped to make her legs strong. She worked very hard. Finally, Wilma could run so fast she who three races at the 1960 Olympics in Rome!

Some of these champions had suffered from diseases in their childhood. Some of were born weak. But they all had one thing in hard till they got what they wanted.
All of us must have a goal and then work hard to reach it. Every goal need not big. To get all yours sums right can also be a goal, whatever we hard to reach it.
*How did the term `the ashes’ come to be associated with cricket?
In 1882, Australia beat England at the oval and after the match the sporting times invented the term `the Ashes’. The paper told its readers of the `death of English Cricket’, adding that “the body will be cremated and the Ashes taken to Australia’’. Since then term 1the Ashes’ has remained. When we say that either England Australia has `lost’ or `retained’ the Ashes, it means the rubber has been lost or won, respectively. The ashes came from a bail burnt during the England tour of Australia in 1883 and they are kept in an urn in the museum at Lords.
