Rubric(评价量表) So the next day Hippomenes was waiting when Atalanta came out. She thought,“ I don't want this man to die.” So she said to her father, “ Tell him to go away, the race will not be run today.” But Hippomenes said“ These are her rule :She will marry the man who runs faster than her. Come on. Let's run.” When the race started Hoppomenes ran fast, but Atalanta ran even faster. Soon she was in front.
At once Hippomenes threw one of the golden apples. It fell far to the side of Atalanta and she ran to get it. As she picked it up, she saw Hippomenes was in front. So she ran very fast until she was in front again. Just then Hippmenes threw another apple over her head and far to the side. Again she stopped to pick it up, and Hippomenes went in front. When she finally caught up with Hippomenes the second time, he threw the third and the last golden apple. As it flew through the air Atalanta saw it and wanted it. So she picked this one up too. By this time Hippomenes was
almost at the end of the race. Atalanta could not
catch up with him because the apples were too
heavy. So Hippomenes won the race and
married Atalanta. Thanks to the Goddess they
lived happily ever after. Rubric(评价量表) Polish the draft, and hand in the final version.
