--Story Below—

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Jenni. She loved running and wanted to participate in a marathon. She knew it would be hard work, but she was determined to succeed.

Jenni started her training by running a little bit every day. She ran in the park, on the street, and on the track. She practiced every day, rain or shine.

One day, Jenni woke up with a sore throat and a fever. She felt terrible, but she didn't want to miss a day of training. So, she put on her running shoes and went for a run. However, she quickly realized that she was too sick to run. Her body was weak, and she was struggling to breathe.

Jenni had to take a break from training for a few days. She rested, drank plenty of water, and took medicine. Soon, she felt better and was ready to resume her training.

Jenni continued to practice every day, and she got stronger and faster with each run. Finally, the day of the marathon arrived. Jenni was nervous, but she was also excited. She lined up at the starting line with hundreds of other runners.

The starting gun fired, and Jenni started to run. She ran and ran, passing other runners one by one. She felt her heart pounding in her chest and her legs burning with effort. But she didn't give up.

Finally, after hours of running, Jenni crossed the finish line. She was exhausted but elated. She had completed the marathon, and she felt proud of herself.
