प्रश्न

The blocks were all lined up for those who would use them
The hundred-yard dash and the race to be run
These were nine resolved athletes in  back of the starting line
Poised for the sound of the gun.
The signal was given, the pistol exploded
And so did the runners all charging ahead
But the smallest among them,he stumbled and staggered
And fell to the asphalt instead.
He gave out a cry in frustration and anguish
His dreams ands his efforts all dashed in the dirt
But as sure I'm standing here telling this story
The same goes for what next occurred.

Did all hope to win? How do you know? Why did the eight runners pull up on their heels?

उत्तर

They all took off and charged ahead when gun was fired. So I think that they all hoped to win. The eight runners pulled upon their heels, because the smallest of the competitors slipped, swayed and fell down on the asphalt track.
