In this story, we meet Ariel and Maria. The two girls are competitors, as they will face each other in a swim meet. At the begining of the story, we learn that Maria has lost her pink cap. She believes this to be lucky, and does not want to compete without it. Ariel, on the other hand, has found the cap, and is unsure about whether to give it back. If she does not, then she has better chances of winning as Maria will most likely not compete. However, Ariel finally gives back the lucky cap. The theme of the story is that it is not always about winning or losing, but about showing integrity.

Morals are the principles which help a person to decide between wrong and right. If someone doesn’t know how to differentiate between the two, he is known as immoral person. We all are born with a sense of morality. We know somewhere in our instincts, the difference between the good or bad, the right or wrong in a situation.
Inner circle is the exclusive group of people in a person’s life whom he considers the closest. This number (of people in the group) is usually very small. They have the power to influence one’s decisions. But moral values should not be formed by our inner circle. One could be a completely different personality than the person in his inner circle. What may be correct for the other person, may not be right for the other. Each persons perspectives are different.
Morals are related to essential human thoughts and feelings that inspire us in various ways. Values are important to us. It's what drives our conduct. They frame our decisions on what is moral or immoral, what is acceptable or what is unnecessary.
Examples are:-
1. The remorse or humiliation that we experience when we break a relationship or fail to live up to the principles that we uphold.
2. The compassion and empathy we experience when we feel other people's pain.
