Her expedition to Mount Everest was full of
challenges. She struggled all through the expedition.
Every step was dangerous. She had problems with
her artificial leg. Sometimes her leg started bleeding.
She didn’t care. She was a brave girl. Little oxygen
was left in the cylinder. People advised her to stop
the expedition. But she was not ready to give up her
attempt.

She continued the expedition. At last she reached
the top of Mount Everest. A girl with an amputated leg
had scaled Everest. What an achievement indeed!

New words:
