(all start running, A gets slower and slower and ends up crawling up to finish line)
D: Well done….(gives B £100 prize) I can see you trained hard for the race
D: Well done to you too (gives C £50 prize)
A eventually crawls gasping to the finish line but collapses before he reaches it
D: Well you obviously didn’t train! And as you’ve not past the finish line I’m disqualifying you.
B;* whispers * I’m dead fast me!
A glares at him
D: I’m gonna give the third prize money to the winner since you’ve made no effort to run in the race.
