Last night Molly watched a
basketball game. Her little brother, Sam, played in it. Sam did his best in the
game, but his team 41 the game. Sam was very
sad. Molly tried to make him 42 , but he was still
unhappy with the result.
Molly thought for a long time and
finally she came up with a good 43 . She decided to
make his favorite cake for him though she was not good at it. She just wanted
him to know that every loss has its own 44 and
we can improve our performances next time. She thought it was enough if we had
tried our best.
After Molly finished making the
cake, she gave Sam a piece. When Sam tried a piece of it, he smiled, “No matter what others 45 the
cake, I like it very much,” Sam continued, “because I know you have made it with your 46
and you have tried your best. ”
Hearing this, Molly said, “This is just 47
I want to say to you. 48 your team
didn’t win the game, you had tried your best. You
are the greatest in my heart all the time!”
From then on, every time Sam 49
to do something, he thinks of Molly’s
words. He is no longer 50 failing. Instead he
becomes stronger to face all his troubles in his life.
