The football final between two schools in Mymensingh. 1–1, the last minute. Arif himself was driving into the box when he shoved an opponent, who fell. The referee didn't see; Arif scored.
Everyone erupted in joy. But Arif's heart was heavy. He knew he had pushed.
He went to the referee: 'Sir, I fouled before the goal.' The ground fell silent. The referee cancelled the goal. The match ended in a draw, and Arif's team lost on penalties.
At the prize-giving the chief guest announced that this year's award for sportsmanship went to Arif. The whole ground stood and applauded — the other team too.
