The last shall argue about it

Students in my reading group were arguing about who would read the first paragraph. Most protested, "I don't want to be last!"

I explained that it doesn't matter who is first and last, only that they cooperate with the teacher and each other. They nodded in agreement.

I should have guessed what happened next.

"I want to be last!"
"No, me!"

I'm sure there's a lesson in here somewhere.
