English Original
Hanging in the hallway at Whites High School in Wabash, Ind., are the basketball team pictures from the past 40 years. A player in the center of the front row in each picture holds a basketball identifying the year — "62-63", "63-64", "64-65", and so on.
One day I spotted a freshman looking curiously at the photos. Turning to me, he said, "Isn't it strange how the teams always lost by one point?"

在印第安纳州瓦巴西的怀兹中学门厅里，悬挂着过去四十年间的篮球队照片。每张照片前排中间的队员都举着一个篮球，上面标明年份——“62-63”、“63-64”、“64-65”等等。
一天，我看到一个新生正好奇地打量着这些照片。他转向我，说道：“多奇怪呀，这些队总是以一分之差输掉比赛！”
