You Can’t Win Them All
When the bell rang, Matt entered the classroom with a heavy heart. “Hey, Matt,” his best friend Tom greeted him. He and Tom were in the school’s basketball team. “Why the long face Are you still feeling blue about Saturday night's game ” Tom asked.
“Of course I am,” Matt said quietly. He didn’t dare to look at Tom as he spoke. “I’m really sorry about letting everybody down. The other team got those points because of me.”
“Don’t be too hard on yourself!” Tom said. “Although you pushed their player, it was just an accident. Everyone knows that!”
Tom was a good friend. But Matt knew the referee didn’t share Tom’s opinion. When the referee saw Matt push another player, he gave the other team two free throws. Matt was as shocked as anyone when the accident happened, but it was too late. He couldn't take it back.
“I guess we have to respect his decision,” Matt said after a while. “But we had a good chance to win until I made that mistake. Why wasn’t I more careful ”
“Listen, Matt,” said Tom, “try to look on the bright side. The other team is the best in our area, but our scores were really close. I’m proud of us, and I know our coach and everyone else in our school are as well.”
Matt felt a bit better. “Thanks, Tom. I guess it’s just hard to lose.”
“Hey, you can’t win them all,” said Tom. “It’s more important to learn from your mistakes so that you don’t repeat them in future. We’ll keep working together as a team. One for all, and all for one, right ”
“You’re right. If we pull together, we should win next time,” Matt smiled. He was lucky to have a friend like Tom!

A: I’m sorry I made a mistake on Saturday, Coach.
B: It’s OK. I was disappointed, but I know you didn’t mean to do it.
A: ...
I’m sorry I made a mistake on Saturday, Coach.
It’s OK. I was disappointed, but I know you didn’t mean to do it.
I could just kick myself for missing that final shot. I feel like I let the whole team down.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. Remember, you can’t win them all. What’s important is that we learn from this and pull together for the next game.
Exactly! Keep your head up and remember: one for all, and all for one!
Thanks, Coach. I’ll practice harder and try to look on the bright side—we did play well as a team until the last minute.

Laughter Is the Best Medicine
Do you often laugh with friends Do you giggle at jokes If you do, that is great, because just as the saying goes: Laughter is the best medicine!
People start laughing from a young age. At around three months old, babies learn to laugh. Even babies that cannot see or hear can laugh. Laughter is a natural part of life! But why is it so important
First of all, laughter is good for our body. When we laugh, our body takes in more oxygen. Every part of our body needs oxygen to work well. Laughter also makes our body work out. Our heart, stomach, and even our shoulders work hard when we laugh! But after we laugh, our muscles feel more relaxed. A good laugh can help you feel relaxed for up to 45 minutes. Over time, laughter helps our body to get stronger, fight off more diseases, and even create special chemicals to help us feel less pain!
Laughter also has many benefits for our mood. When we laugh, it makes us feel less stressed or anxious, and things will not seem so bad. Laughing also causes our brain to release chemicals that make us feel calm and happy. Scientists even think that smiling often is enough to increase these chemicals in our brain.
But it is not always easy to laugh on our own. We are 30 times more likely to laugh when we are around others. According to some scientists, laughter can show others that we want to be close to them. Monkeys clean one another's fur to show
friendship. But people laugh so that others will know that they are being friendly.
Some people even join laughing groups. Although they force themselves to laugh at first, after hearing other people laugh, their laughter becomes real! Before long, the whole group of people is laughing hard.
The next time you feel unhappy, try thinking about something funny. Although you might not want to laugh when you are sad, doing so can make you feel better!
