the same Harry who had nervously started going around the track two hours ago.
After his five laps, Harry triumphantly drove into the pit. Jack rushed up to him
to congratulate him on such a brilliant performance. “Reckon you are ready to
race now, Harry”, he said.
Harry, James and their Daddy gave each other a big hug and they all dreamed of
what the future might bring.
