From the top of the world’s highest mountain,Mark called his wife to say he made it.His wife,Anne,got the phone when she was sleeping.She could hardly believe it.Because she knew how hard it would be for Mark to reach the top.She said his“l(fā)egs”didn’t work well sometimes,so her husband was carrying a spare leg and repair tools.

Mark was a mountain guide before his accident.He said it was not important that no one bad ever reached the 8844-neter mountain like him.“I’m not doing this to be the first.I have been climbing most of my life and I just feel Mount Qomolangma is really a great aim.I want to prove that I can do anything better.”So if you have a dream, just work hard and go for it no matter how difficult it is.
