Summary of"A difference of once"

The story is about a boy whose name is Joe. He is a school boy also a basketball player. One day he lost the game and only lost one point. He was angry about that, so he went to sleep and didn’t prepare for the exam of tomorrow. And he failed. He needed to got 35 but he only got 34. So he asked the teacher to gave him 35. But the teacher said “you only lost one point, why didn’t you ask the referee to give you another game.” Then he realized what the teacher mean. It is not only one point but also means a lot.

After reading this story, I really feel the teacher is right. It is not only one point, it means a lot. Nowadays people do things like that. They don’t take things seriously. After they failed then they learned. We should do all prepare for the things we do. Then we won’t take fail as Joe.
