Taking Home the Gold oa/ow

He had woken up this morning ready to play his favorite game. He had been playing around the globe but this would be the best one yet. He even dreamed that he had broken the world record for home runs. 

Alex cleared his throat. "You've got this," he told himself on the road to the stadium that morning. He looked out the window, thinking of all the fun he would have after he won.

The crowd cheered as the tip of Kate's nose crossed the finish line. River could not believe it, she was taking home the gold! Her friend laughed and made a joke, "River, quit horsing around! You just won!" River grabbed the ropes and rode away so happy that she had done it.

She looked below at her horse, Kate. She rubbed her mane and said to her, "We're going to go so fast, everyone else will be toast." She heard the whistle blow and they were off.

River's coach gave her a thumbs up and a smile. At that point, River knew she would reach her goal. She was going to show everyone what she was made of.

Turns out, that dream came true! Alex was going home today with a gold medal in baseball!

He had wanted this ever since he was a growing boy. His goal had always been to play in this game. He knew he could do this all on his own.
