On 27 June, a Thai Facebook page shared a heartwarming and humorous moment from a children’s race.
The race was between two young boys in Thung Song, a town in southern Thailand.
One of the children, a five-year-old boy, appeared to be in tears as he clung to his mother at the starting line.
With only a few seconds left before the race began, the mum had to come up with an idea to get her son running, fast.
Fortunately, the mum was as quick-witted as she was quick on her feet.
She started running away from her crying son when the whistle sounded.

The boy then immediately started chasing her.
Onlookers were confused at first, but it soon dawned on them just what was happening.
Laughter, smiles, and cheers filled the air as everyone had their eyes glued to the race, which now included a child running as if his life depended on it.
Mum was considerate for her son too, as she looked back every few seconds to check if her son was alright.
The boy sprinted ahead of his competitor even with tears running down his face.
But his sadness soon turned to joy as he crossed the finish line and won first place.
Photos from the event showed that the young boy was all smiles after the race when receiving his medal.
