Pride to Humility-A Journey

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Amir. He looked like a normal boy but was a very fast runner. This, however, caused him to become proud as a peacock and treat himself as the best and consider others lower than him.

Once, He heard that there was an inter-school running competition- which had a 300m sprint, and Amir was extremely excited to take part in the running competition as it gave him a chance to show off his skills. He told his parents that he wanted to take part in the competition. His parents allowed him to but warned him not to get too full of himself.

Amir then told his PE teacher that he wanted to take part in the competition. His teacher told him that he could participate in the running competition as he was the best runner in the 5^th standard. His parents told him to practice and practice and practice. But he was very proud of himself and did not do any practice.

Then the day dawned. His parents drove him to the stadium where the sprint was being held. He felt that he could win the race easily. Nine other boys were participating in this competition. The referee said “3..2..1..Go!” and everyone started. Amir could not believe it! He was in last place, and he was going behind! He ran as fast as he could and overtook a few people but was far from the first place. In the end, he came in 7^th place.

He was astonished at his result. He realized that his pride had brought his loss here and he would not do it again. He realized that you had to be humble in life the hard way. He learned a lesson that day and after that, he never considered himself above others ever again.
