In _, I was never a blue-ribbon person. In a running ribbon competition, I was always the last. In baseball, I usually dropped the ball. During the spring of my kindergarten year, our class had a field trip to a park in a _ about twenty miles away. Making that drive now very easy to do but when youre six and youve lived in a town of 300 people all your life, going to a big town of a few thousand people is really something.I dont remember too much about it. But there was one that I will never forget the three-legged competition. The parents tied(捆绑) our feet together. I was in pair with a little boy. He was very _ at sports in our class. He usually won at everything but I didnt. I knew that our pair didnt have a chance to _, and Im sure he knew he was in trouble. The gun sounded(枪响了) and we were off. Some pairs were stumbling(绊脚) and falling all around, but we stayed on our feet and made it to the other side. _, when we turned around and headed back, we were in the lead. There was another pair a few metres behind us. But only one pair had a chance to win.A few metres from the finish line, something terrible happened: I stumbled and fell. We were so _ to the finish line that my partner could have easily pulled me across the finish line and won. But he didnt. He stopped, _ down and helped me up just as the other pair crossed the finish line. As a result, we received a small red ribbon for coming in second.I still remember that moment when the young boy decided that helping a friend get on her feet was more important than winning a blue ribbon. And 13 years later, I still have that little ribbon because it tells me that a friend like this boy is the one who really _ a lot.13 . AsportsBmusicCartDcourses14 . AcountryBcityCtownDvillage15 .
