So what if that shell-backed slowpoke had beat him in one race. “A rematch!” he thought. “Brilliant! That’ll teach him.” He called the tortoise. “I want a rematch,” he said. “Well, I beat you fair and square,” said the tortoise calmly. “But I’ve got nothing to do tomorrow afternoon. Same racecourse? Say, 3 o’clock?” The hare was sure he would win. But, just in case, he decided to make some special arrangements. He knew the tortoise went to the pond after lunch every day. So at half past 12 on the day of the race, he darted over to the tortoise’s house. Inside, he spotted the tortoise’s sneakers. He pulled from his backpack a jar of honey and coated the bottom of the tortoise’s shoes. Then he found the tortoise’s water bottle. The hare dumped the water onto a plant on the windowsill. He filled the bottle with warm milk— perfect for making the tortoise nice and drowsy. Finally, he found the tortoise’s sunglasses. He covered them with butter. The lenses would be too smeared to see through. Later, the two animals met at the starting line. News of the rematch had quickly spread, and it seemed as though the whole town was lining the course. The elephant trumpeted a starting blast on her trunk, and they were off. The hare sped into the lead right away. He chuckled as he crossed the finish line. A long while later, the tortoise finally finished the race. “I won, fair and square!” the hare cried. “I’m not too sure it was fair and square,” the tortoise replied. “You see,” the tortoise told the gathering crowd, “I noticed some things this afternoon. Moving slowly, you see more. I noticed a little cluster of ants gobbling a dab of honey on my floor.” He held up a sticky shoe. “I noticed that the flowers on my windowsill seemed to have perked up, like someone had just watered them.” He turned over his water bottle, and milk trickled out. “And I noticed, at the start, a little bit of butter on the hare’s legs.” He pulled off his sunglasses, streaked with butter. The whole crowd gasped. The elephant turned to the hare. “It’s clear to us all that you cheated,” he proclaimed. “Your win was NOT fair. Your win was NOT square. The tortoise remains the racing champion!” Everyone but the hare cheered. —By Heather Price-Wright REMATCH! 7B Rematch!

You’re not the best player on the team. But most days you tried hard. Do you deserve a trophy? If the decision is up to Carol Dweck, the answer would likely be no. She teaches psychology at Stanford University, in California. She says a player doesn’t have to be the best to get an award. But those who do get an award should have to work for it. “The trophy has to stand for something,” Dweck told TFK. “If we give a trophy to everyone, then the award has no value.” Dweck says kids should get trophies for specific reasons. Not only the best players should be rewarded. It could be the most improved player, or the player with the most team spirit. She says that teaches kids that adults value hard work and trying our best. On the Other Hand … Others see no harm in giving awards to all players. “I think we should encourage kids’ participation in sports,” says Kenneth Barish. He teaches psychology at Weill Cornell Medical College, in New York City. Barish disapproves of celebrating only the best players. He says it sends the message that winning is everything. “Winning is only part of the equation,” Barish told TFK. “Playing sports also teaches kids about teamwork and the importance of exercise.” Kids will learn about competition as they get older, Barish says. For now, he thinks it’s fine to let all players feel like winners. That means trophies for everyone. —By Brenda Iasevoli Experts share their opinions about how trophies should be awarded.
