One day Pam’s school announced a triathlon which is a multi sports competition. The triathlon consists of a running race followed by cycling and finally a swimming competition.Pam was very excited by this news.She was always a very competitive person and began training really hard to win the competition. Every day for a month, she ran around in her backyard, cycled in her neighbourhood and swam in her pool.Her mother would often jokingly say, “You know that there is so much more than just winning, yeah?” And every time Pam would just smile back and say “No. There isn’t.”On the day of the triathlon, Pam was very excited. Both her parents had come to support her and she could see them cheering for her in the crowd. She waved at them before the race began.When the running competition began, Pam ran like the wind, she was the first to finish it. Then came cycling and Pam finished it the first too. In the end as she reached the final phase of the triathlon, swimming competition, Pam was sure she would win. She dived into the pool and was halfway through it when she heard noises behind her, “Help!” It said.She turned and saw a boy struggling to stay afloat. The lifeguards had jumped in but they were very far away. Pam was closer. Pam was also very close to the finish line that would make her win the race.But she swam back to help the boy instead. Pam helped save the boy’s life and she realised what her mother meant when she said that there is so much more than just winning. Moral:Competition is not everything; sportsman spirit is the most important part of any sport.

The school’s triathlon

Addy was a very lazy boy who never did his things on time . One day he received a magical clock that made him understand the value of time that one should always do things on time.The clock warned him again and again to not postpone things, but Addy rarely listened.One day, he came to know that he had won the first prize in a singing competition that was held the previous month. He was asked to collect the prize the same day.He didn't care and decided to collect the prize the next day.The clock knew what the prize was and asked Addy to collect the prize on the same day but Addy refused.So the clock sped the time and soon the next day arrived.When Addy went to collect the prize he realised that the prize became useless for him, as it was a ticket to a game show, which was held the previous day.This is how Addy learned the importance of doing things on time. Moral:Stop procrastinating and do things on time.
