Can anyone expand this story for me it is 150 words I need it to be 300 the story is below

I am sportsperson. I was an basketball team.

Basketball has always been my favourite game.It was October, we

were preparing for an Interschool Basketball Championship. I was good

both at studies as well as sports.

Therefore my parents  were very supportive. 

But one day,Just a week before the inter school basketball championship,

I fell down the  stairs and broke my ankle bone.

The doctor told me to stay at home and take rest.I was utterly disappointed.

I talked to my Sports Teacher,she told me to follow the advice of the physician.

I did that only and followed the physician's advice.I was unable to participate  in the Interschool Basketball Championship.

But after two months I was fit again.I practiced a lot and next year again I participated in Interschool Basketball Championship.This time I was the champion and I won the trophy.

Friends the moral is that there are good times  and bad times in life but we need to keep doing hardwork.

The Invalid's Story 

by Mark Twain

1 - I seem sixty and married, but these effects are due to my condition and sufferings, for I am a bachelor, and only forty-one. It will be hard for you to believe that I, who am now but a shadow, was a hale, hearty man two short years ago, a man of iron, a very athlete!--yet such is the simple truth. But stranger still than this fact is the way in which I lost my health. I lost it through helping to take care of a box of guns on a two-hundred-mile railway journey one winter's night. It is the actual truth, and I will tell you about it.

2 - I belong in Cleveland, Ohio. One winter's night, two years ago, I reached home just after dark, in a driving snow-storm, and the first thing I heard when I entered the house was that my dearest boyhood friend and schoolmate, John B. Hackett, had died the day before, and that his last utterance had been a desire that I would take his remains home to his poor old father and mother in Wisconsin.
