Story: Yes, We Can
A Story of Inspiration and Friendship
Veena and Shalu are good friends. There is a sports rally in their school next month. They are excited to take part in it. Veena is a good badminton player while Shalu is good at racing. Shalu is a bit upset because she has a leg injury. She is not sure about taking part in the race.
Veena: Why are you upset?
Shalu: Veena, I want to participate in the sports rally. But I am not sure if I will be able to do it. Look at my leg. It is all injured! What shall I do?
Veena: Dear friend, don't be upset. Have you not heard the name of Arunima Sinha, the famous mountaineer?
Shalu: No, I haven't. Who is she?
Veena: She was a national level volleyball player. She was pushed out from a running train by some robbers. She was so badly injured that one of her legs had to be amputated.
Shalu: Oh God! That's terrible!
Veena: That's true and in spite of that, she climbed the highest peaks of the world and made us proud.
Shalu: Amazing! This is what's called spirit.
Veena: Not only she, but Bharat Kumar a para swimmer and Sudha Chandran a Bharatnatyam dancer have also become famous in their fields despite their disabilities.
Shalu: They are really very brave and confident people.
Veena: Yes, they are an inspiration to us. You are also good at sports. I know you can do it!
Shalu: You are right. Now, I will participate and give my best.
Veena: That's like my good friend. We all have some special qualities. We should have faith in ourselves.
