Which sentence best gets across the author’s message in the story? A True Victory
Kelso and his best friend, Adiel, had spent weeks building their go-cart for the annual Wolf Club go-cart race. Then, at the last minute, another team’s go-cart broke down. Adiel and Kelso decided to let that team use their go-cart. But now they were regretting their decision. It was painful watching the race from the sidelines.

When the first cart crossed the line, Adiel and Kelso couldn’t helping wondering how it would have felt if they had won. Within seconds, other carts raced by. Instead of feeling glum, Kelso began to laugh. He delighted in the breeze that blew through his hair as the go-karts rushed past. Adiel noticed a genuine smile spread wide across Kelso's face. Adiel realized that this sense of happiness was also surging throughout his body, even though he had not raced.

"You did a really nice thing today," whispered a nearby Wolf Club leader.

"Thanks," said Adiel. "I guess I won't ever know if I could've won the race."

"Well winning isn't one of the Wolf Club mottos," said the leader. "But we do believe that we should promise to do our best and do something good for somebody every day. I'd say you proved yourself today as one of the worthiest people here to be called a Wolf Cub."

Adiel's mother soon appeared. "And I'm more proud of you now than I ever could have been if you had come in first," she said.
