After breakfast, it was time for training. "Today you will all be facing the dreaded obstacle course" announced the Sargent "and the soldier who is last will be disciplined."
All the soldiers, including the one soldier without boots, prepared themselves to start the obstacle course. The Sargent blew the whistle, signalling the soldiers to begin. The first obstacle was to lift and flip 3 large tyres in a row. The next obstacle was to crawl under barbed wire. The following obstacles were the monkey bars and sheep dip. (The sheep dip is an underwater tunnel that you swim through.) The final obstacle was to climb the rope and ring the bell. All the soldiers had reached the final obstacle but the one soldier without boots struggled to climb the rope as they had no grip in their feet which made them unable to complete the course and as a result they came last.
