A Story of Goodness
The text can’t be copied-pasted, so I’ll re-write it. Its author can’t be found, yet I wanted to offer the gift to you. It’s a running story, after Martin Meijer’s image. “Last month, the Basque (Spanish) athlete Ivan Fernandez Anaya was competing in a cross-country race in Burlada, Navarra (Spain). He was running second, some distance behind the race leader Abel Mutai, bronze medallist at the 3 000 meters steeple-chase in London Olympics. As they entered the finishing straight, he saw the Kenyan runner (the certain winner of the race) mistakenly pull up about ten meters from the finish, thinking he had already crossed the line. Fernandez Anaya quickly caught up with him, but instead of exploiting Mutai’s mistake to speed past and claim an unlikely victory, he stayed behind and, using gestures, guided the Kenyan to the line and let him cross first”.
