Dale was a young boy who had a talent for running. He was always trying to find someone to compete with. He was thirsty for success. For him, winning was everything, One day, two young boys accepted his challenge. A large crowd of students got together to watch. Dale's PE teacher Mr. Smith was also among them. The race began. With strength(力量) and power, Dale won without any difficulty. The crowd cheered loudly. Dale felt proud and excited. However, Mr. Smith kept quiet.
"Another race, another race!" shouted Dale. Mr. Smith stepped forward and asked him to have a group competition. There should be a boy and a girl in each group, but the right leg of the girl and the left leg of the boy should be tied together. The race started and Dale tried his best to run fast. Unluckily, both Dale and the girl in his group fell down because the girl was not as fast as him. The crowd went silent.
Dale lay on the ground, looking at other groups passing by. The girl cried sadly. Dale helped the girl to stand up and said, "Cheer up! We may lose the race but we shouldn't give up! Let's work together to finish the race!" As they continued running to the finishing line, the crowd cheered loudly. Mr. Smith smiled, too. Though Dale's group didn't win the race, Dale was happy because he leaned a lot from it.
We need competitions in life. But being a real winner doesn't always mean being the first. It also means never giving up even if there is no hope to be the first.
