One possible version:?
One day,in the winter of 1925,the only doctor in Nome Dr Welch discovered that some children had a terrible disease called diphtheria.Soon some children died.In the small city,Dr Welch had enough vaccine for 5 people.The only way to prevent the disease was to get more vaccine as quickly as possible.At last,Dr Welch found the vaccine in a hospital,but the hospital was 1000 miles away.At that time,the sea was frozen and the only two planes had been stored.The only way would be to take the medicine first from Anchorage to Nenana by train and then send them to Nome by a relay of dog teams.It would take up to 13 days to complete.Soon twenty tough men formed a relay team.They rode day and night,through snow storms,against the temperature more than 30 degrees below zero.At last,they covered almost 700 miles and took the vaccine to Nome as soon as possible in little more than 127 hours.The children of Nome were saved.The drivers and dogs were so tired that the dogs couldn’t bark when they arrived in Nome.People in the city much appreciated the dogs and thought they were really heroes.In December that year,a bronze sculpture of a dog was placed in New York’s Central Park in honour of them.?
