Last month SMP Utama team entered for a tug-of-war (tarik tambang) contest with SMP Bangsa. Two weeks before the contest the boys of “SMP Utama Team” started practicing hard. “We must learn to pull the rope together at the same time,” said Amin, their team leader. ”Only that will make our team strong”.
On the day of the contest the team from SMP Bangsa arrived at SMP Utama in a bus. Everyone was surprised, to see that these boys were much taller and bigger than the boys of SMP Utama. “We’ll surely lose,” said Rano, a member of SMP Utama.
Don’t give up so easily,” said Amin. ”We must try our best”.
Soon the contest began. Which team do you think won the contest? It was SMP Utama. It was too strong for the SMP Bangsa Team. Why was that so? You see the SMP Utama boys pulled the rope together at the same time. SMP Bangsa boys, on the other hand, were not united at all.
