Flashba
From Jack the Paddle Ace (L1-4)

Jack won the Kayak race. He’s very good at paddling.

Camper Lewis wanted Jack to help Dennis.
Dennis wasn’t very good at paddling.
Jack didn’t want to help Dennis. Camper Aaron talked to him.
Jack helped Dennis become better at paddling.
Bella the So
re Loser
 Your friend Liz is really
good at archery.

Yes, she really is. That’s her second

bull’s-eye. They only have
one more shot in the contest. She’s already in the lead.
I don’t think anyone will catch her.

She’s going to shoot again. Wow, she did it again!

She shot three bull’s-eyes.

06 Bella the Sore Loser

 That was great shooting, Liz.
You hit three bull’s-eyes in a row. I love archery,
and I practice it at home.

Thanks, I really tried my

Congratulations to you too, Jack. hardest.
You won the kayak race today.

What contest are you doing, Bella?

I’m doing the 400 meter race.

I’ll run faster than anyone.

archery bull’s-eye hit in a row shoot 07

The race is going to start soon. Have a great race,
Are you ready, Bella? Bella!
This race is going to be easy.
I’ll win it for sure.

Can the racers line up, please?

We’re going to start.

You must run around

the track one time.
On the count of three,
you may begin.

08 Bella the Sore Loser

 This is going to be easy.
I’m the fastest runner.

I can’t believe I’m getting passed!

Who is this girl, and how is she so fast?

I can still beat her! I just need to run a little faster.

Oh, someone else is

passing Bella.
Now, she’s in third place.
This can’t be happening.
Pay attention, and
you can do this, Bella.

 Bella, are you OK?

Oh, you cut your knee!

I can’t believe
It doesn’t matter, Bella.
I fell and lost the race.
I’m just glad that you
didn’t get hurt badly.

Does your knee hurt?

No, my knee doesn’t hurt much.
I’m just upset about the race.

Well, it’s not a bad cut.

Your knee should feel better by
tomorrow.
10 Bella the Sore Loser
 Are you OK, Bella?
That was a bad fall.
I’m just fine.

You were running very well.

I’m sorry you didn’t finish the race.

I’m the fastest runner, but I fell.

You got lucky this time.

Well, I will race you again anytime.

I hope your knee gets better soon.
Bella, that was very rude.
Why did you say that to Maya?

cut knee lucky rude upset 11

 She thinks she’s so perfect.
Look at her standing there.
I don’t like her. Who don’t you like?

I don’t like Maya. She thinks she’s so great.

She’s just getting another

bowl of peas, Bella.

I think you’re taking that race too hard.

You shouldn’t be mad at Maya.
She’s just happy she won the race.
12 Bella the Sore Loser
 So, do you think Maya is the fastest
runner?

Well, you were in third place when you fell.

Maya was ahead of you.
Maya is a fast runner.

Maybe you should be friends with Maya.

You like her better than me.

Please don’t say that, Bella.

You’re my friend. Don’t be so mean.
See you later, Bella.

 Bella, what happened before you fell?
Do you remember?

I was way out in front, and I was winning.

I’m the fastest runner.

Bella, that’s not true, and you know it.

Why are you lying?

Well, Maya was in front,

Tell me honestly what

you remember.
I was in third place.

14 Bella the Sore Loser

 I guess Liz was right. Maya is the
fastest runner.
Bella, did you try your best in the
race?

Well, I didn’t train for the race.

I thought I could win easily.

You didn’t work hard for the race.

So, don’t be angry.

Liz is your good friend, and you don’t want

to lose her. I think you should go talk to her.

 Liz, are you in here?

I’m sorry I was mean to you, Liz.

You were right about Maya. She is faster than I am.

Do you know that Maya runs

every morning? She’s on her school’s
track team, and she trains really hard.

You’re going to race her again.

You need to train.
I didn’t know that.

16 Bella the Sore Loser

I’m going to race her again?
Yes, you can race her next week
in the cabin contest.

Well, I didn’t do my best in the race today.

Maybe I can do better next week.

We’ll work together and

train every day.

I don’t think I can beat Maya,

but I’ll do my best in the next race.

Go to page 30
for Activity 3.

 The next day . . . Let’s stretch first and relax our bodies.
Warming up is very important.
We don’t want to get hurt.

I never trained for anything

before, Liz.
You study for school, right?

Of course I do. Studying is important.

Well, this is the same thing.
Let’s get going, Bella! Hey, no fair! Wait for me.

18 Bella the Sore Loser

We’ll run around the whole lake.
Maya does that every morning.

It’s a long way around the lake, Liz.

I’m not sure I can make it.

I’m so tired.
We need more practice.

I was mean to Maya, and I feel bad. Maybe you should talk

 Hi. Hello, Bella. Can I help you?

I’m sorry about the other day.

I was angry at you, and I was very rude.
You ran so fast.
Liz and I are training for the next race.
It’s hard work. I didn’t know that.

You work hard every day.

That’s why you won the race.

OK, I’ll go now.

20 Bella the Sore Loser

 Wait, please don’t
leave, Bella.

I’m glad you came to talk to me.

I’m sure that wasn’t easy.

You’re a good runner, and you work

really hard. I need to work hard too.

Why don’t you and Liz run with me?

We can all train together.

Do you really mean that?

Training together will be fun.

 How far is it around the lake?
The next morning . . .

It’s 8 km, but that’s not important.

Time is important.
We should run for one hour a day.
How fast should we run?

We’re training,
so we should run slowly.

Okay, so how slowly should we run?

Slow enough so we can talk to each

other easily.

22 Bella the Sore Loser

 Relax your body, Bella.
Shake your hands and arms like this.

Move your whole body.

It’s good for you.
This is great, Maya.
I think I’m getting stronger and stronger.

I feel pretty good.

How do you feel?
Always listen to your body
and stop if you feel pain.

Me too, but I’m a little tired.

The following Saturday . . .
Maya was nice, and she really helped us this week.
I learned so much, and now we can run around
the lake easily.

We trained hard, and I feel a lot

stronger now. I’m ready for the cabin contest
today.

I’ll do my best.
You’ll do great!
That’s the important thing.

24 Bella the Sore Loser

Let’s have a good race, Bella.
I know we can do it. Yeah, don’t trip and fall again.
You could break the track this time.

That’s not nice, Claire.

You shouldn’t be so rude.

We’re going to begin this week’s

400 meter race.
Runners, take your places.

You may begin on the

count of three.

 Bella is running much better this week.
She is, but Claire is right behind her.
Can she stay ahead of her?

Maya’s so fast! She’s in the lead,

and I don’t think I can catch her. Claire is right behind me.
I won’t let her pass me.

Bella is going to get

second place!

26 Bella the Sore Loser

 That was a good race.
You’re the fastest runner, Maya. Yeah, you’re really good,
Maya.

You’re a good runner too, Bella. Thanks, Claire.

I’m sorry I was rude to you. You’re really fast, and you
almost caught me.

I’m glad we all did our best.

Come on, let’s go get some water.
Let’s go!
That sounds great!
