딸 책값을 위해 맨발로 달린 인도 엄마가 우승했다

A mother ran barefoot and won. This simple fact became a big story across the internet.

The woman is 47 years old. She lives in India. Her daughter needed school books. The books cost money. The family did not have enough. So the mother decided to run in a 3-kilometer race. She wanted to win prize money to buy the books.

She ran without shoes on her feet. Many people watched her. She ran fast and strong. And she won the race! The prize money was enough to buy what her daughter needed.

When people saw the story online, they felt moved. Many asked, "Why did she have to do this?" Her choice was brave, but it also showed a problem. In India, some families are very poor. They cannot buy school books easily. Children cannot study well without books. This mother showed the world how hard life is for some children.

People talked about this story everywhere. They asked big questions. Why is education so expensive? Why do poor families struggle to help their children? Her race was just 3 kilometers. But the story told us something very important. Education matters. Parents will do almost anything for their children.

Now, many people are thinking about ways to help. Schools need more money. Families need more support. One woman's race showed that change is needed.

What would you do to help your child's school? What do you think families need most?
