Kit loses the race

Read the story first, then answer.

Kit and Bun's raceIt was a rainy afternoon, and Kit and Bun were playing a race game. Then Bun rolled a big number, and her piece zoomed over the finish line. She won! Kit's face got hot, and his paws curled up tight. A big feeling began to grow inside him, like a balloon. Kit breathed in slowly, as if he were smelling a flower, in through the nose and out through his mouth. Then he ran round the yard, fast and then slow. His shoulders dropped, and he told his grown-up, "I am mad that I lost." His grown-up said, "It is okay to feel mad. I have felt that way too." Kit felt calm again. "Good game, Bun!" he said.
