Once upon a time, there was a world full of shapes. There were triangles, circles, squares, ovals, stars, hearts and spirals everywhere. One day, the shapes decided to have a competition to find out which shape was the best.
The triangle tried to prove its sharp angles made it the strongest. The circle rolled around showing its roundness made it the fastest. The square stood tall, boasting that its sides were equal and made it the fairest. The oval wiggled and jiggled, saying it could fit into tight spaces better than any other shape.
The star shone brightly, claiming it was the most unique. The heart beat fast, saying it was the most loved. The spiral twirled and twirled, saying that its swirls made it the most fun.
In the end, the shapes learned that they were all special in their own way and that they didn't have to compete with each other. They all cheered, "Shapes rule!" and lived happily ever after.
