Losing

In an old Andy Griffith episode Pa talks to Opie about being a good sport. Opie was discouraged because he lost a race and was sulking and refusing to congratulate the winner who won fair and square. Pa had a heart to heart talk with him and sure enough, Opie saw the light and did the right thing.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone did that? If you lose a race of some sort instead of mumbling, calling for a recount and acting like a fool just step up to the plate and say "I lost, you won, congratulations" End of story.

I guess some of us need a trip back to Mayberry!
