once upon a time there was a youthful

athletic boy hungry for victory

for whom winning was everything

and victory was measured fair by winning

one day the boy was planning himself

for a running competition in his little

town himself and two other youthful boys

to compete

a huge swarm had accumulated to witness

the donning exhibition

and the shrewd ancient man upon hearing of the

small boy

had traveled distant to bear witness moreover

the race commenced looking like a level

warm at the wrapping up line

but beyond any doubt sufficient the boy burrowed profound

and called on his assurance quality

and control

he took the winning line and was to begin with

the swarm was delighted and cheered and

waved at the boy

the astute man remained still and calm

communicating no opinion

the small boy be that as it may felt pleased and

imperative

a moment race was called

and two modern youthful fit challengers came

forward

to run with a small boy

the race was begun and beyond any doubt sufficient the

small boy came through and wrapped up

to begin with once once more

the swarm was happy once more and cheered

and waved at the boy

the astute man remained still and calm

once more communicating no assumption

the small boy in any case felt pleased and

critical

another race another race argued the

small boy

the shrewd ancient man ventured forward

and displayed the small boy with two

modern challengers

an elderly slight woman and a dazzle man

what is this test the small boy this can be

no race he shouted

race said the astute man

the race was begun

and the boy was the as it were finisher the

other two challengers cleared out standing at

the beginning line

the small boy was delighted he raised

his arms in enchant

the swarm be that as it may

were noiseless appearing no opinion toward

the small boy

what has happened

he inquired the astute ancient man

race once more answered the astute man

this time

wrapped up together all three of you

wrapped up together proceeded the shrewd man

the little boy thought a small

stood within the center of the blind man and

the slight ancient woman

and after that took the two challengers by the

hand

the race started

and the small boy strolled gradually ever so

gradually to the wrapping up line and crossed

it

the swarm were happy and cheered and

waved at the boy

the astute man grinned delicately gesturing his

head

the small boy felt glad and critical

ancient man i get it not who are the

swarm cheering for which one of us three

inquired the small boy

the astute ancient man looked into the small

boy's eyes

setting his hands on the boy's shoulders

and answered delicately

small boy
