     the girl who had won.  She held the cake out to

     me.

     that matters, but how you run the race.’  Today,
     you showed the right way to run.”

            I took the cake and said, “Then let’s all
     share it.”

     tasted better than any cake could have if it had
     been won by crossing the finish line in first


     place.
