THE WRESTLING MATCH
(Adapted from As You Like It by Shakespiere)
One day , something happened which really changed the lives of two girls, Rosalind and Celia. There was a wrestling tournament at the court. Charles, a famous wrestler, had come to display his strength and skill. He wrestled with three brothers and defeated them all easily, one after the other. Then, still fresh and smiling, he was ready for his fourth opponent.
The fourth opponent was a noble and handsome youth, much younger than Charles. The gorls pitied him instantly and begged him not to wrestle. "Charles an extremely strong fighter. He will kill you," they told him. "You have no chance of winning. Don't risk your life"
"Ladies, I thank you for your kindness," the young man replied. "Let him kill me. It doesn't matter, because I have no friends to grieve over my death."
He spoke so sadly that Rosalind was filled with pity. "I have little strength," She told him, "but I would add that to yours," The young man smiled gratefully at her. Then he turned away from the ladies to gace Charles, the champion wrestler. The match began.
