✔✔Will mark brainliest Read this excerpt from "Atalanta, the Fleet-Footed Huntress."

Hippomenes heard her footsteps thundering just a few paces behind him. He took the third apple and threw it over to one side of the path where the ground sloped toward the river. Atalanta’s quick eye saw that it was far more beautiful than either of the others. If it were not picked up at once, it would roll down into the deep water and be lost, and that would never do. She turned aside from her course and ran after it. It was easy enough to retrieve the apple, but while she was doing so, Hippomenes gained upon her again. He was almost to the riverbank. How she strained every muscle now to overtake him!

But after all, she felt that she did not care very much. He was the finest young man that she had ever seen, he had given her three golden apples, and he had risked his life to win her. It would be a great pity if he should have to die.
