Why Does the Rich Boy Cheat? | Slow English Listening Practice for Beginners (A2 Level)

Tom's wheel came off during a race. But was it an accident? Someone is sabotaging the championship. Can Tom win when the race is rigged? In today's Slow English Story (A2 Level), Tom Watson qualifies for the regional skating championship. But a rich rival and his father have a secret plan. They sabotage Tom's skates, rotate the forest course signs, and spread ball bearings on the starting line. Tom faces danger, humiliation, and almost impossible odds. But he has something they don't have — a hidden champion inside him, and an old janitor named Arthur who believes in him. Will Tom survive the cheating and win fairly?
