HUMILITY SUBDUES ANGER
Rajesh:
Oh, it's too bad that you aren't like me, Manish. I am perfect.
Manish:
Well, I hope you will still play with me. I am sorry that I am not as great as you are.
(Neel joins them on the way to the baseball field)
Neel:
Hey, you guys! Let's go and see who gets the trophy.
(They go to their practice and Manish is given the trophy)
Rajesh:
(Rudely) Hey, you're no friend. I can't believe you got my trophy.
Manish:
(In shock, but happy) I can't believe the coach picked me. Can you believe it?
Rajesh:
(Turning to Neel) I can't believe I lost the award for the outstanding baseball player. The coach gave my award to Manish!
Neel:
Manish, I am glad you got it. You deserve it.
Manish:
I still don't believe it. I thought someone else would get it.
Rajesh:
I was ready to go up, but the coach called out your name.
Manish:
Tam sorry that you didn't get it Rajesh. Honest!
Neel:
Rajesh, even though you might be a better player than Manish, he won the award because he works very hard. Those who are humble always win. You brag too much about yourself.
Rajesh:
So that's it! Do you think I brag too much?
Neel:
Well, don't you think you do?
Rajesh:
I guess I do. I need to stop bragging about myself. I have learned a big lesson. Manish, let's go and show your award to the guys. I'm so glad that you're my best friend. You really are a great baseball player. Congratulations.
