It’s not bad to lose games to our good friends because it doesn’t mean we are not good at the game, we might just want a win-win result. We play games with our good friends to have a good time with them, not just to win. In the story, Farfallina hides under a fern close to the ground because she knows that Marcel can’t climb. Marcel hides behind the tree close to Farfallina because he knows that Farfallina moved slowly. They want each other to enjoy the fun of the game.
