It was a merry afternoon at the hall. A toy car race was being held, and the final round is a few minutes away. There were only four __36__ left and it was the rule of the game that the toy cars had to be their own handmade.

Among the players __37__ one child whose toy car looked pretty simple. Many of the audience __38__ the toy car's ability to race against the other three. Even so, the owner wasn't less __39__ of his own __40__.

　 When the race started, they pushed and ran along with the car as fast as they could. __41__， the least magnificent?looking toy car __42__ the finish line first. The champion was then asked by the organizer before __43__ his award, “I saw you praying before the final round __44__. You must have prayed to God that you may win, didn't you？” The champion replied, “That was not __45__ I prayed for. I thought it was unfair to ask God to help me __46__ the other players. I only prayed that God __47__ help me not to cry if I lose.”

　 We often pray that our wish may be granted, but do we __48__ that sometimes our wishes are just the __49__ to what the others may pray for? Does God side on one but not __50__？ Would it be appropriate __51__ us to be joyful while the other person might be __52__ and disappointed?

　 In our lives, there are __53__ things more important than just winning or losing. Wouldn't it be better for us to accept whatever the __54__ may be? Be it a defeat or a win, we can still __55__ to be happy.
