Once upon a time there lived a young boy who is very smart and loved to compete with others. Each competition he entered, he will come out with a prize. The competitors will laugh at him when he entered and think that such a small boy will never beat the in a contest. One day, when the boy was up to compete with a challenger, the challenger teased him. However, he didn't care and ignored them. "I'll teach him a lesson when I beat him in this contest." It was a spelling bee contest, and everyone in the crowd was cheering for neither of the competitors. When the two contestants came up to the stage there was a wild scream from the crowd. Everyone was pleased to see the number of competitors. However, after half an hour only the smart boy and his rival was left over.
      "And now for the last word," said the judges. "The word is, competitor!" The man buzzed in first. "It is C O M P E T I T E R ." "That's incorrect," told the judges. Then the  boy buzzed in. "It's C O M P T I T O R," he exclaimed. Then the boy won the spelling contest. "Did you learn your lesson?" said the boy when he walked past the man.
