v I joined this school three years ago. Then I lived with my parents
in a small village about eight miles from here. I could not walk to school and
back daily, and the journey by bus was considered to be too costly. My father
decided to buy me a bicycle.
v
It took me nearly a fortnight to learn how to ride it. Then one
day, I left for school on my life I was riding a bicycle to school and that
bicycle was my own.
v
I took it into my head to beat every cyclist riding a head of me
and to let none overtake me from behind. For some time I succeeded in achieving
this aim, but them my untrained muscles let me down. I had to pedal slowly.
After a while I speeded up once more but soon found myself climbing a steep
hill. It was a hard job to go along, but my sense of pride, and my excitement
would not let me get off the bicycle, and push it along somehow or other, I
reached the top.
v
I felt the greatest thrill of my life, when' my bicycle began to
free-wheel down the hill at a tremendous speed. I felt as if I had been flying
in an aero plane soaring down to earth. This taught me a useful lesson one must
first sweat and toil to win ease and comfort in the end.
v
After my effortless journey down the hill, I found myself fit
enough to challenge a few more cyclist to, race against
me.(4essay.blogspot.com) I would not be beaten by anybody.
v
I reached school very early that day indeed, I was the first to
arrive I parked my bicycle outside our classroom in full view of all my
classmates. But what disappointment I had! Far from admiring it, none of them
even enquired to whom it belonged. It was something wonderful to me, but
nothing unusual to them.
