Amy opened it and found a letter and a book on the Olympics.The letter read, “Congratulations! You’ve been selected as a support runner for the Olympic Torch Relay...”Although she wouldn’t be wearing the white uniform and carrying the torch as she had imagined, she wasn’t disappointed. She completed the required physical examination,delivered the forms, and waited. Months later, another package arrived. It contained her official blue support runner uniform along with instructions for her part of the relay. Then on a cold day, Amy and her husband stood outside the Torch Relay collection point.
One of today’s torch bearers can’t run her part, announced the relay organizer. Then he dropped folded pieces of paper into his hat, saying, “One lucky support runner will become a torch bearer. Select a number now. ” Luckily, Amy became the torch bearer. When it was her turn to carry the flame, she positioned herself to receive the flame. Holding it tight, she ran down the street filled with people waving flags. The Olympic theme song was broadcast. Amy smiled and waved to the crowds, knowing that she was carrying not only the torch, but also the Olympic spirit.
