Author's Note :
This is an exercise motto that promises greater value rewards for the price of hard and even painful work,according to Wikipedia. This was also one of the last few stories I did in school before my SPM. My English teacher at that time, Madam R, was adventurous and enjoys giving us a challenge. She gave us 5 different idioms and asked us to choose two idioms and write two short stories for each idiom. Not an essay, but a story. The first thing that came in mind was of course, a story revolving around sports, where the athlete would work extremely hard until victory is achieved. The plot was commonly used and I wanted to write something different. It was also because I was never able to capture the true essence of an athlete training and giving everything he got on pen and paper, since I am a lazy couch potato. However, I enjoy reading history and while we were learning about World War I and World War II, it really opened my eyes to see how much a soldier would sacrifice for the country. This story is inspired by unsung heroes, who do all they can to preserve their country's freedom and protect the people of the nation. I hope you enjoy it. The story you are about to read is not based on real life events.
