　　Tom was a thirteen-year-old boy．He was tall and strong．He ran faster than any other boy in his class．So he was often proud of it．

One day，a new student came．His name was Dick．He was thin and short．But his classmates found he ran very fast when they were playing football．

Henry，one of Tom's friends，told him about it．Of course，he didn't believe it．

　　“Why not have a race with him?”said Henry．

　　“It's a good idea!”said Tom．“Go to tell the boy．I'll have a race with him tomorrow．”

　　The next afternoon，when the classes were over，Tom got ready for the race．He was sure he could win the first place．Henry didn't finish his　homework and couldn't go with him．That evening Henry went to see his friend．They began to talk about the race．Tom's grandma heard them in the next room．She came in and asked，“Which place did you get，Tom?”

　　“The second place，Grandma.”

　　“Congratulations to you!”the old woman said happily．“And which place did Dick win?”

　　“The last but one．”
