Younger children, losing and practising, sentence 1
Not winning and not being chosen hurt everyone sometimes; what helps is telling a trusted adult and keeping on practising, because taking part and having fun matter more than trophies.
Who acts: winning, taking · What happens: not win, not choose, hurt, help, be, trust · To what, where: everyone, part, fun · Speech: someone speaks here
