Rintoo was eager to win the race. But he didn't pay attention to Ye-Ye's instructions. So he paddled fast instead of paddling to the beat of the peeking mice. That caused the boat to slow down. When he and Kai-Lan lost the race, Rintoo got mad and whacked the boat and stomped around. Kai-Lan tries to get Rintoo to talk, but he refused. Kai-Lan learned from Ye-Ye that the only way to stop being mad is to calm down. Kai-Lan was able to help Rintoo calm down. For the second race, Rintoo paddled fast again, but Kai-Lan implored him to calm down. Rintoo realized that paddling to the beat makes the boat go faster. Rintoo learned an important lesson: it's not whether you win or lose as long as you calm down and don't get eager.
