For the first time in their history, a team from a small town faced last year’s best team. The players thought they couldn’t win and wanted to give up. Seeing this, the coach told them a story. Peter was a woodcutter. He was afraid he would fall ill and die. His wife told him that as long as his hands and feet were warm, he wasn’t dead. One day, Peter went out to cut down trees. It was snowy and cold. After finishing his work, he noticed that his hands and feet were completely frozen. He thought he was dead, so he stopped working and lay down on the ground. After Peter lay for a while, some wolves came over. They ate all the food in Peter’s food bag. The wolves then noticed Peter lying quietly. They were getting closer to Peter.
