correct,but there are two more challenges you must complete if you want to marry my daughter.”The king wanted to test the prince.He wanted to be sure the prince was good enough for his daughter.The

challenge.”The Runner said,“I will run for the prince.”The prince smiled at him in gratitude.The race began.The Runner raced a woman with a special talent.She was capable of flying short distances!However,she was not as fast as the Runner.The Runner reached the ocean.He filled the bottle with water and started to return to the tower.The woman was only halfway to the ocean.The Runner

guessed what had happened.The Hearer yelled to the Thrower,“Quick!Wake up the Runner.”The Thrower threw a stone.The stone broke a branch from a tree,and the branch fell beside the Runner.The Runner woke up.The Runner jumped up and saw the woman.She was ahead of him,and she was running and flying.The Hearer detected the sound of the woman approaching,so he turned to the Blower and said,“Quick!You must stop her.”The Blower began to blow.Every time the woman tried to fly,the Blower blew her back toward the tree.Up in the tower,the king was confused by what he saw.The woman appeared to be running,but she was moving backward.Soon the Runner passed the woman and raced to the castle.He had won!The king met with the prince.The king said,“Very well,you have successfully completed that challenge,but there is still one challenge left.”13Program:CR 14Component:LRG5 U2W4 EPDFVendor:Learning MediaLevel:50010_016_CR14_LR_G5_U2W4L40_E_118733.indd 13010_016_CR14_LR_G5_U2W4L40_E_118733.indd
