Sports from A to Z

Jack was nervous. He had to wear his old trousers with the purple patch that could be seen by those who didn't matter and those who did, like Ann Dale.

"Are you going to the competition, Jack?" his friend came up to him. "There are prizes - 10 dollars and 12 dollars!".

"Perhaps if I get a prize, I could buy new trousers," Jack thought.

Ten minutes later they were on their way to the competition. There were many children there.

"First race!" the man with the megaphone shouted.

Jack tried too hard at the sprint. He wanted to win. And he was the second.

"Event two! A Thread-the-Needle race!"

When he heard the signal he ran like the wind. But the pair next to him finished first. The last race was Jack's last chance for a big prize. At the moment Ann offered him to be his partner.

"Ready! Off!"

Jack forgot why he had come to the competitions. He had only one aim - to get to the other end quickly: the sooner he was there the less time Ann would have to notice the patch.

"We won, Jack!" he heard Ann's words when they crossed the finishing line. And he saw that Ann's face was full of admiration, not contempt, and he was very happy.
