summary
Teamwork is very important. We can bring our dreams come true by working together. And together we can share our joys of achieving something. It is a fun to put the ball through the ring. But we cannot shoot it if there is no one to pass it on. Similarly, relay race cannot go on if nobody passes the baton. When we work together we become strong and then it is easy to achieve the common goal.
