Bribe or True Love...??

Still on 'Children of Heaven'...there are many times when the brother Ali gives his sister many of his things...like the new pencil, the pen which he got for scoring good grades...I initially wondered if he is bribing his sister to keep the 'secret' from his Mom and Pop...or does he really like her to have those things...?
But eventually...when he runs the race during the finale of the movie ...you realize the true love that he had for his sister...

The moment when he asks...with great anticipation...'Am I third Sir..??' ...really is heart wrenching...it shows us that sometimes in life...coming 'first' is not always the optimal end...it also goes to show the truth about the proverb ...'Man proposes and God Disposes'....
