Μια άλλη μέρα θα νικήσεις εσύ!

by Maria Papayanni, Μαρία Παπαγιάννη

Ο Άρης και ο Πέτρος όλη τη μέρα πολεμάνε να κερδίσει ο ένας τον άλλον. Ο Άρης έρχεται πάντα πρώτος και ο Πέτρος αναρωτιέται πότε θα έρθει εκείνη η μέρα που θα φωνάξει κι αυτός "Σε πέρασα!". Η μαμά τους τους εξηγεί πως η αληθινή ζωή είναι γεμάτη χαρές και λύπες. "Μια άλλη μέρα θα νικήσεις εσύ, Πέτρο". Και να που φτάνει εκείνη η μέρα και ο Πέτρος καταλαβαίνει πως δεν έχει τόση σημασία ποιος κερδίζει, αλλά ποιος ξεπερνά τον εαυτό του.
