of a land, then he would get that much of the land as a reward, but there was a
condition that he would have to come back before the sunset.
It was the most exciting and unique
competition that has been ever held anywhere in the world. Many men decided to
take part in that unusual competition.
The competition was held as per
schedule. There was a man named Kalua, he was a tall and strong buildup man; he
was eager to win that competition anyhow. He has come from a distant land only
to seek his fortune. He wouldn’t want to miss this golden opportunity. He also
took part in that competition.
The
competition was begun. All the participants of the competition started running
to beat each other, shoulder to shoulder, tirelessly. Nobody would want to give up. They
were running continuously, ignoring the hot and humid weather. Kalua was not
lacking behind in the competition. He was leading in the race. He has beaten
all his competitors far behind and heading towards ahead. His only goal was to
cross as much as the distance of the land before the sunset. Even, he didn’t
look behind him. He was continuously running. And finally, he has reached at
the end of the land, with tired and fatigued; he was gone out of breath. He was
hungry as well as thirsty. He halted. But, it was what, the sun was about to
set in the distant horizon at any moment. He decided to turn back, but it was
