On the Sports Day, lots of parents were watching their children playing on the playground. And some girls were talking about which boy would win the 100-metre race.
Peter heard the girls, while he was eating a banana. He said, "I shall win the race! I'm the fastest runner!" Then, when he finished his banana, he threw the skin on the ground and went away.
When Mr. Lee shouted, "100-metre race for boys," Peter and the other boys went to the start of the race (起跑线). All the boys were ready and Mr. Lee held up a gun (发令枪). Then he fired the gun in the air and the race started. Peter ran very fast. He seemed to(看起来)win the race easily. The children shouted, "Hooray!" Peter was near the end of the race. He was smiling, but then, suddenly, he put one foot on the banana skin. His foot slipped(滑动) and he fell down (摔倒). He fell in front of Sam, and Sam fell down, too. Then Ben fell down.
John was behind the others. But he passed them carefully and ran on.
"Congratulations, John," said Miss Smith. "You are the winner."
