Unseen Passage for Class 8 - Passage 10
Posted by Olympiad Tester on
Vroom! Vroom! The speedy cars were all practicing for the upcoming grand race. Round and round the track they zoomed, skillfully maneuvering through cones, tackling sharp curves, and launching forward as soon as the green light flashed. Blue Speedster and Red Rocket, the closest of friends, spent the entire day practicing side by side.
As the night fell and the cars retreated to the garage to recharge, Red Rocket found it difficult to doze off. Restlessness overtook him, and he turned to his companion, Blue Speedster, seeking solace. "Are you asleep, Blue Speedster?" Red Rocket inquired. "No, I can't shake off the nerves for tomorrow's race. How about you?" replied Blue Speedster.
"I feel the same way. What can we do? We must be well-rested for the race!" expressed Red Rocket with concern. "Hmm... How about trying some deep breathing exercises? Ready? Let's take a deep breath and count to three. Then, we'll hold the breath for three seconds. Finally, we'll slowly release the breath. We might need to repeat this several times until we feel better. Let's give it a try!" suggested Blue Speedster.
In unison, they embarked on a series of deep, calming breaths. Gradually, after a few minutes, both cars experienced a sense of tranquility and peacefully drifted into sleep. As they dozed off, they dreamed of the exciting moments they would encounter during the race, envisioning the joy and thrill that awaited them.
