Sir Edmund Hillary was the
first man to climb Mount Everest. On May 29.1953, he climbed and measured highest mountain then known to man-29,000 feet
straight up. He was spoken of for his efforts when he came back. He even
made advertisements for big companies. However, we read his book—High Adventure, we
don't understand that Hillary had to grow into this success.
You see, in 1952 he tried to
climb Mount Everest, but . A few weeks later a group in England asked
him to give a to
its members. Hillary was given a warm welcome walking on stage. People there thought him as
a hero, but Edmund Hillary saw as
a failure. He moved away from the microphone and walked to the side of the
stage.
He lifted one hand and pointed
at a picture of the mountain. He said in a voice, "Mount Everest, you beat me the time, but I'll beat you the next time because
you've all you are going to grow. But I'm still
growing!"
