Kittens jumping long distance

My Fairy Tale

The school is going to hold a field day, this day kitten's class is holding a class meeting to arrange the participants in the competition. The mood of the students was high and they all scrambled to sign up. "I want to run in the sprint!" "We'll do the relay, we'll make sure we get the championship back!" "I'm still very confident about jumping rope!"

Meanwhile, the kitten stayed in his place, not focusing on the games, as if they had nothing to do with him. The kitten had an athletic talent that many people envied, whether it was his slim and slender figure or his superb instant explosive power, which made him a seeded player in many sports, but he just couldn't bring himself to show any interest.

Soon, most of the candidates for the sports had been decided, and only the "long jump" was left untouched.

At this point, a student suggested, "Why don't we let Kitten participate? If it's him, he will get the first place!"

Everyone thought this was a great suggestion and agreed, but Kitten was the only one who desperately objected: "No, no, no, I can't do it, you'd better choose someone else."

The other students still insisted that Kitten should participate, but the teacher stopped them.

"Everyone, don't create too much pressure on Kitten." The teacher solemnly said to the kitten, "The choice is in your own hands, kitten. But the teacher still hopes that if you are confident in the long jump, you will be brave enough to show yourself."

Seeing that it was hard to refuse again, Kitten agreed.

In the following time, apart from the normal classes and studies, more time was spent preparing for the field day. Every afternoon, the students would go to the playground and train for their events. Kittens always use this time to be lazy, either to find a place to doze off or to read a book in the library.

Once the kitten happened to meet the monkey who was taking a break. Monkey asked curiously, "Kitten, how come I haven't seen you practicing lately?"

Kitten replied casually, "With my strength, do I still need to practice?"

The monkey said, "It seems that you are very confident."

The kitten said, "That's for sure. Now all I have to do is to adjust my condition and wait for the day of the competition."

Soon it was the day of the games, the school was very lively, cheering for their respective classes, deafening sound. The contestants were all giving their best to get the best results.

Now, there is only one event left, the long jump. Kitten's class is currently ranked second, and if he wins the long jump, the class will also jump to first place.

It was Kitten's turn to take the field, and although he was carrying the expectations of the class, he did not feel pressured by it. This confidence comes from his pride in his athletic talent. Standing at the starting line, Kitten listened to the judge's instructions, starting, jumping, and landing in a series of movements, creating the best score in the competition!

However, before the kitten was happy, his best score was canceled. It turns out that in terms of strength, the kitten is indeed unbeatable, but he forgot that he is now in a "competition", and therefore must comply with the rules, just now the kitten accidentally stepped on the line when jumping, so the results are invalid. In the next few attempts, the cat lost his normal mind because he was overly concerned about whether he stepped on the line when jumping, resulting in an average final score, and their class failed to achieve the goal of winning the championship.

The sports meeting was over, and walking home, the kitten kept complaining to his mother.

"I have the strength of the champion, but I am not familiar with the rules. This kind of small problem can be solved with a little training. Besides, I didn't want to participate in the competition in the first place, but I was forced to go!"

Mom said to the kitten: "What you said is true, but it doesn't change the fact that you didn't win the championship. If you feel resentful, then next time you should take what you have to do seriously."

After hearing his mother's words, the kitten secretly made up his mind that he would never let himself fail again because of complacency.
