Once there was a teenage boy who was known as a fast runner in his village. He only cared about winning every race and becoming more successful.
One day, the boy took part in a running race in his village. He won the 200, 100 and 50 - meter races without any problem. He was proud of himself and received great applause (掌声). But his grandfather stepped in and challenged him to a race with two unexpected competitors, an old man and a blind girl. The boy thought it was unbelievable but accepted.
In the race, the boy finished first, while the old man and the blind girl were still at the starting line. With joy, he waved (挥) his hands at the crowd. But they kept silent.
“Why are people not cheering for me like before?” he asked his grandfather. “Start the race again with them. But this time, all of you should cross the finish line at the same time,” the grandfather replied.
The boy was surprised but agreed.
During the second race, the boy took the hands of the old man and the blind girl and walked slowly with them to the finish line. The crowd gave them a standing applause.
