Tara aren't you going to try out for the school play? asked Bill. Auditions are starting in a few minutes.
No Nita is trying out for the lead. She's a much better singer than I am. I don't have a chance.
Bill was a kind and helpful boy.He hated to see Tara so sad. Mark is faster than I am but I still compete against him in track and field events.
Don't you feel bad when you don't win?Tara asked.She was one of the most talented girls in the school but feared failing in anything.
Winning isn't the point Bill explained.You just do your best. If you do that ,you can be proud of yourself. Now how about that audition?
