Don’t worry,” said Sophie.
“It wasn’t your fault. I’ll be back riding in a few weeks.”
“And Blossom?” asked Caroline. “Blossom was lucky, too.
She’ll be able to jump again.” (P. 23 L. 1~3)
I read The Spring Cup which is one of the books in the Helbling Readers series. This book is about competition with rivals. When I was a junior high school student, I have experienced same situation like Caroline. I thought competition is one of the ways to improve my skills.
One day, Caroline and her parents talked about the race. Her mother said, “do you think you can win this competition, Caroline?” to her daughter. Caroline was good at riding horse, but she could never win the first prize. Sophie Craig is always better than her. Then her father said, “If you don’t win, Caroline, I’ll sell your horse. No trophy, no horse!”. Caroline was confused and her younger brother asked what happened. Her sister didn’t know what to do. A minute later, he went to the bathroom, and had five sleeping pills. On the day of the competition, Caroline was so nervous. First, Sophie was on the race. She was very fast, but suddenly she felt everything went black. Second, Caroline rode a horse. She was fine, and got the first prize. Her parents were proud of her because she became champion.However, after the race, she found that her brother did something bad. She was very angry and talked about that with the head of her stable. Sophie hurt her arm, but she forgave his crime. A few days later, she got well and the two girls rode their horse again together.
