The Last Lap

Dee was fast. She won every race at sports day, and she knew it. In the relay, she ran the last lap. Her team was behind. Dee ran so hard that her chest burned, but the other runner crossed the line first. Dee sat on the grass. Her team came and sat with her. "You made up ten metres," said Ali. Dee had not thought about that. She had only thought about losing.

  1. 1. How many metres did Ali say she made up?
  2. 2. What lesson does this story teach?
  3. 3. Which lap did Dee run?
  4. 4. Was her team ahead or behind when she started?
