jed couldn't keep the tears running
Jed couldn't keep the tears running down his face.His friend,Rob,wanted to help,but the more he talked about it,the worse Jed felt.
"I know how terrible you must feel," Rob said."Everyone on the team thought the coach (教練) would choose you.He must be crazy(瘋狂) to let Tom swim the breaststroke(蛙泳) "
When the coach told him about the date and place of the state swimming meeting for boys of 15 and under,Jed was sure he would be swimming the breaststroke.He even told his family that the team couldn't win the event without him.
When the coach chose Tom Timmons,the new boy from Spring-field,to swim the breaststroke,Jed could hardly believe it.Coach Robertson told Jed he could swim on the relay team,but that offered little consolation.
"I may leave the team," he told Rob."I'd rather not swim at all than be on the relay team."
"I don't know whether you should do that or not," Rob said."We need you on the relay team.Of course,if you say you won't swim at all,the coach may change his mind and let you swim the breaststroke."
Jed left Rob and headed towards home.He knew it would be embarrassing(尷尬) to have to tell his family and his friends that someone else would take his place.He wondered if he should make up a story and tell his morn and dad that he asked the coach to put the new boy in.Jed didn't know what to do.
