There once was a ten year old girl who loved sports. But she especially enjoyed ice skating. Her name was Adele Jinx. One day Adele mis-took a step when she was about to jump in the air and spin. She crashed onto the ice, her legs numb and spurting blood. Adele just stared. Her skating teacher gasped and kneeled beside her on the ice. Adele's dark blood soon surrounded them like magic.

"Adele! Adele!" Her mother's voice cried out desperately. But Adele was silent beneath the covers of the hospital beds. "Adele? Adele Adele Adele Adele?" Adele's little five year old sister Ashlee gabbled. "Quiet, child. This girl needs rest," A stern looking thin nurse said sharply. Ashlee jumped. When Adele was able to speak, she sobbed. "I'll never be able to skate again!" "Adele, dear, but you've done skating all your life! If your legs get better, you could keep doing skating," Adele's mother suggested. "How long will I have to have my legs bandaged up like this?" Adele asked suspiciously. "About three years," The thin nurse said simply.

But a few weeks later, Adele couldn't fight the urge to skate. And after a few days of that, Adele was breathing hard, sweat sliding down, her back wet with alarm. "Thanks, Mum. For letting me do skating." Was the last words she ever said. And within a few hours, Adele had sacrificed herself.
