At the prestigious coconut climb during the 5th Micronesia Games in Pohnpei, a Palaun climber loses his energy and momentum halfway up one of the five 70-foot palm trunks. A rival climber from the Pohnpei team paces below talking to Palauan and trying to convince him to give up. His plan worked.

「第５回ミクロネシア競技大会」に数ある競技のなかで、伝統を誇る「やしの木登り」。７０フィートあるヤシの木の途中でパラオ代表の選手が勢いを失いかける。それに気づいたポンペイ代表の選手がゆっくりと木の下に歩み寄り、パラオ代表選手にそっと「あきらめろ」と話しかける。彼の策略は見事功を奏する。
