(2021春·上海奉贤·七年级校联考期末)根据以下内容回答问题。
There once lived two twin brothers called Sam and Tom. They looked almost the same, but their characters (性格) were totally different. Sam was generous, while Tom was greedy.
As they grew up, their father wanted to share his fortune (财富) equally. However, Tom did not agree and argued that the one who was more intelligent and strong should receive a greater fortune.
Sam agreed. Their father decided to organize a competition between the two. He ordered his two sons to walk for as long as they could and then to return home before sunset. If one of them covered the longer distance and returned home before sunset, he would get more wealth than the other.
Both started to walk a long way on a sunny day. Sam walked slowly and steadily, while Tom ran fast.
At noon, Sam decided to return so that he could reach home on time before sunset. However, Tom was greedy and wanted to get more wealth, so he did not return home even after noon. He walked twice as far as Sam and decided to return before sunset. Unluckily, when the moon rose, he was still far away from home.
Tom lost the race because of greediness.
