Read the story first.
Sports dayIt was sports day at the park. Ready, steady, go! Bun reached the finish line first, and Kit came second. His tummy sank, because he had wanted to win. That was a real feeling, and it was okay. Kit took a slow breath, walked over to Bun and said, “Good game, Bun! You ran so fast.” “Thank you, Kit! You ran fast too,” said Bun. Then they raced again, and this time Kit crossed the line first. He felt proud, but he saw that Rex had come last. Kit did not boast. He said, “Good game, Rex! You kept on running, and I liked that.” “Thanks, Kit,” said Rex, with a small smile.
