Winning - Children's Picture Books, #31

Jane was never good at athletics but she participated in all the events at the school athletics meeting. Mavis was very good at athletics and Jane's heroine. Jane participated in the Potato Sack race, the Standing Long Jump event, the Softball Throw, the 50 Metres Dash and the Relay Race. Jane came last in all these events while Mavis won them all. At the end of the meeting Mavis was awarded the "Best Athlete" prize.
Jane congratulated Mavis on her achievement. Jane was then presented with a card from her friends telling her that they admired her courage for entering in all the events even though she knew that she would probably come last. Why though, does the card have a special significance? A fun read with a simple message.
