Read together

Once upon a time, there were six friends - feet, animal, duck, elephant, tiger, and shark. They all lived in a big jungle together. One day, they decided to have a race to see who was the fastest.

Feet was the first to start, but he soon realized that he wasn’t very fast compared to the others. Animal, who was next, was much faster and soon caught up to Feet. Duck was even faster, and soon overtook both Feet and Animal.

Elephant was up next and he was so big and strong that he easily passed Duck, Tiger, and Shark. However, just as Elephant was about to cross the finish line, Tiger pounced and beat him by a whisker.

Finally, it was Shark’s turn. He swam so fast that no one could keep up with him. He easily won the race and was declared the fastest of all the friends!

Everyone cheered for Shark and they all had a big feast to celebrate his victory. From that day on, they all learned to appreciate each other’s unique abilities and became the best of friends.
