Video - Race of Rivals: A Friendship Tested in the Forest

Luna gasped for breath, her sneakers pounding the forest trail. She could hear the rustling leaves behind her; Ben was catching up. "Can't let him win," she muttered, pushing harder. Ben's laugh echoed, "Thought you'd gone soft, Luna?" She grinned, feeling the sweat trickle down her forehead. The old friends had turned rivals in this annual race, determined to prove who was fitter. As they burst through the final stretch, Luna tripped, tumbling. Ben skidded to a halt, offering a hand. "Health isn't just strength; it’s about helping each other up," he said, pulling her up. They finished together, laughing.
