The Great Animal Race!

In a bright, sunny town, all the animals decided to have a race!

The speedy rabbit, the clever tortoise, and even the little snail lined up at the starting line.

“Ready, set, go!” shouted the wise old owl.

Off they went, zooming and waddling, each trying their best.

The rabbit dashed ahead, but soon got tired.

The tortoise kept moving slowly but surely, while the snail cheered for everyone.

In the end, it wasn’t just about who won, but about having fun and cheering for friends!

A Fun Lesson!

Remember, it’s not always about being the fastest; it’s about enjoying the race together!
