Raul and Chito both loved playing basketball, but Chito practiced every day to improve while Raul preferred playing computer games. When tryouts were announced for their school basketball team, Raul knew he was unlikely to make it due to his lack of practice. He asked his father, a teacher, to get him on the team but his father refused because it would be unfair to the other students who had worked hard training. Raul realized his mistake and promised to practice harder next time.

loved playing basketball. Chito practiced every

computer games, rather than spending time to
improve his skills in playing basketball.

that there would be a tryout. Chito and Raul
enlisted for the said tryout. Raul knew that
he would not likely pass because he did not
practice as often as Chito did.

teachers in their school, to get him into the team. His

other pupils worked very hard to train. If he wanted to
join the team, he should have practiced regularly
beforehand.
