Thiago, a determined young boy from Rondônia, Brazil, faces a challenge when he decides to race against Sonic, his favorite video game character. As he struggles with his competitive nature, Thiago learns the importance of tolerance and accepting failure with grace.
Thiago, a spirited 7-year-old boy from Rondônia, adored his hero costume and loved playing Sonic games. One sunny morning, he challenged his friends to a race, claiming he could run as fast as Sonic. His friends laughed, but Thiago was serious. He believed that winning would make him just like Sonic. However, Thiago hated losing more than anything in the world.
On the day of the race, Thiago put on his hero costume and stood at the starting line. " - I won't lose," Thiago muttered to himself, feeling the pressure to win. But as soon as the race began, Thiago tripped over a small stone. His friends zoomed past him, and Thiago was left behind.
After that, Thiago practiced every day, determined to win next time. " - I'll beat Sonic this time," he told his reflection in the mirror. But during the next race, a sudden rainstorm made the ground slippery. Thiago fell again, feeling more frustrated than ever.
Thiago sat down on the curb, feeling defeated. " - Maybe I'm just not fast enough," he sighed, thinking about giving up his dream of beating Sonic. His heart felt heavy, and he wondered if he should stop trying.
Just then, his friend Lucas approached him with a smile. " - It's okay to lose sometimes, Thiago," Lucas said. " - Even Sonic doesn't win every time." Thiago thought about it and realized that maybe losing wasn't the end. He decided to focus on having fun instead of just winning.
During the next race, Thiago smiled as he ran, enjoying the wind on his face. He didn't win, but he didn't mind this time. " - I had fun, and that's what matters," Thiago said, feeling proud of himself. He learned that being tolerant and enjoying the moment was more important than winning.
