B
When the bell rang, Matt entered the classroom with a heavy heart. “Hey, Matt,” his best friend, Tom, greeted him. He and Tom were on the school basketball team. “Why the long face? Are you still feeling blue about Saturday night’s game?” Tom asked.
“Of course I am,” Matt said quietly. He was afraid to look at Tom as he spoke. “I’m really sorry for letting everybody down. The other team scored those points because of me.”
“Don’t be too hard on yourself!” Tom said. “Although you pushed their player, it was just an accident. Everyone knows that!”
Tom was a good friend. But Matt knew the referee (裁判) didn’t share Tom’s opinion. When the referee saw Matt push another player, he gave the other team two free throws. Matt was as shocked as anyone when the accident happened but it was too late. He couldn’t take it back.
“I guess we have to respect his decision,” Matt said after a while. “But we had a good chance to win until I made that mistake. Why wasn’t I more careful? I could just kick myself! I really could.”
“Listen, Matt,” said Tom. “Try to look on the bright side. The other team is the best in our area, but our scores were really close. I’m proud of us, and I know our coach and someone else in our school are as well.”
Matt felt a bit better. “Thanks, Tom. I guess it’s just hard to lose.”
“Hey, you can’t win them all,” said Tom. “It’s more important to learn from your mistakes so that you don’t repeat them in the future. We’ll keep working together as a team. One for all, and all for one, right?”
“You’re right. ▲ ” Matt smiled.
