of her school in the spelling competition for four years in a row. But this
year, a new girl named Opal had joined her class and everyone was expecting her
to win the competition. On the day of the competition, Opal and Claire participated
and did well. When the results were announced, everyone was surprised. Both the
girls had scored top marks. Claire went home. She told her mother everything and
cried on her shoulder. Her mother said, "You had been the champion for four
years, but today you had to share the crown with Opal. I understand that you are
not comfortable doing so. But have you thought about how Opal must be feeling?
She is new in the class. Winning this competition meant a lot to her. She did
her best." Claire understood this. She became Opal's best friend.
