Once upon a time, there was a big race in the ocean. All the sea creatures were excited to participate. Dash, the fastest fish in the ocean, was ready to win the race. But little did he know that a new diver was going to join the race and give him a run for his money. The race started and Dash was in the lead, but the diver was close behind. They reached the first point and Dash was ahead by just a little. But the diver was determined to win and pushed harder. At the final point, it was a close race between Dash and the diver. In the end, the diver won by just a tiny bit, much to Dash's surprise. Despite losing, Dash was proud of how hard he had raced and how close he came to winning. From then on, Dash and the diver became good friends and raced against each other in fair competition.
