Sally enjoyed watching Jumpy's wrestling the most. He would even defeat animals larger than himself. Seeing Jumpy's feats, Sally wished she could wrestle like him.
In her enthusiasm, she went to the park to meet Jumpy one day and said, "Jumpy, I want to learn wrestling too. Please teach me the tips and tricks."
Jumpy laughed at Sally and said, "Sally, wrestling is not meant for girls. It's a sport for men."
"But, Jumpy, girls participate in wrestling held during the Olympics," Sally said.
"Well, girls do wrestle in the Olympics, but Champakvan has not yet adopted that tradition. Here, very few girls participate in sports," Jumpy explained.
"So, right now, I'll break this tradition," said Sally confidently. Jumpy was shocked to hear her. He knew that breaking traditions was not that easy. But seeing Sally's courage, he got excited.
He said, "All right, Sally! I'm ready to teach you wrestling. But wrestling requires a lot of strength. Can you even run twice around this park?"
Sally was excited. She said, "I'll take two rounds of the park right now."
And so, Sally started running. She took one round of the park easily. But during the second round, she started gasping. She kept running to prove she was strong, but only managed to run just a short distance further before she got dizzy and fell.
Jumpy ran to her and splashed water on her face. Soon, Sally regained consciousness. Jumpy took her to her house.
The next day, Jumpy went to Sally's house and told her, "Sally, you do have the potential to become a wrestler. You proved it yesterday. One who does not give up till the last minute is a real sportsperson. I am ready to teach you how to wrestle."
Sally was delighted to hear that and soon started learning wrestling from Jumpy.
