It was the final of the national high school basketball game. It was 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 was not 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 frozen. He thought he was dying, so he stopped working and lay down on the ground.
After Peter had been lying for a while, some wolves came over. They ate all the food in Peter's food bag. The wolves then noticed Peter lying quietly on the ground. They were getting near to Peter. Peter thought, "If I weren't dead, I would kill you all." When the wolves saw Peter doing nothing, they ate him.
As the coach finished the story, the players talked about how silly Peter was. At the same time, they realized what their coach wanted them to understand: the opposite team was like the wolves, and they were like the woodcutter. They should fight till the end, whether they were "alive or dead".
