“Whoosh!” The ball flew into the net and the game was finally over. This game had gone into overtime (加时赛) twice. Until the last goal was scored, no one had any idea which team would win.

Dave felt so bad because his team had lost. He liked playing soccer, but he liked winning even more. Now the two teams should have a picnic together. Dave did not want to eat lunch with the other team. The other team would probably brag (显摆) by talking about how they won the game.

Dave went to the locker room (更衣室) to change out of his soccer clothes. There the coach talked to the team about what they had done well. They also talked about how they could improve. Then everybody walked outside towards the picnic table.

One of the players from the other team was standing near the picnic table. He handed Dave a paper plate. “Hi, I’m Miguel,” he said.

“Hi,” Dave replied, looking down at the ground.

“You played great,” Miguel said. “I didn’t think we were going to win.”

Dave was surprised. Miguel was not bragging at all.

“Thanks,” Dave said to Miguel. “You played great, too.”

During a winter storm in 1919, one dog managed to save the lives of the people on the ship Ethie. Today, people still tell the story of the dog.

In December 1919, Ethie was travelling along the coast of northern Canada. Without warning, the ship ran into a bad storm. Because of high winds and heavy snow, the captain could not tell where he was going. Sailing too close to the shore (岸), the ship could not move because of some rocks. Ethie was in danger.

The captain decided to save the people on his ship. He thought it was too dangerous to try to reach the shore by lifeboat, so he sent up flares (闪光信号) to call for help.
