Ali and his younger sister,Zahra,lived with their parents in a
poor neighborhood.Their mother was very sick and their father
was struggling to find a job,and they had only a little money with
which to buy food.As they had not paid the rent for several
months,the landlord was breathing down their necks.
One day,Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed,
but he lost them on the way home.It wasn't until he got home
that he realized he had lost the shoes.He was afraid that his
parents would be angry and disappointed,so he begged his sister
to keep it secret.Zahra agreed and the two
decided to share Ali's running shoes.Zahra's
school hours were in the morning,so she
would wear them first.After school,she would
rush back and give them to Ali.He could then
run to his school,which began in the
afternoon.Although he ran as fast as he could,
Ali often arrived late and was warned by the
school.

the city.When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of
shoes,he decided to take part.He ran home excitedly and
promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived.Ali had a strong start,but halfway
through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache.
Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his
promise to her.Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his
sister gave him strength,and he stayed right behind the two fastest
runners,determined to
finish third.Suddenly,as the
finish line drew near,
another runner collided(
with Ali from behind and
he crashed to the ground.
