Once upon a time, there were 7 cars who lived in a garage: Cabriolet, Car, Convertible, Coupe, Dragster, Hatchback and Hearse. They all had different personalities and abilities.
One day, they decided to have a race to see who was the fastest. The Cabriolet was excited because she loved to feel the wind in her hair. The Car was confident because he was the biggest and strongest. The Convertible was nervous because she was afraid of going too fast. The Coupe was determined because he wanted to show off his sleek design. The Dragster was ready because she loved to go fast. The Hatchback was eager because he was nimble and quick. The Hearse was quiet because he was used to carrying important passengers.
The race started and all the cars revved their engines. They zoomed around the track, but the Hotrod was missing. Suddenly, he appeared out of nowhere and zoomed past all the cars. He had been working on his engine and had made it faster than ever before. The Hotrod won the race, but all the cars cheered for him because he had worked so hard to be the best.
From that day on, the cars all respected each other and learned to appreciate each other’s unique abilities. They all became friends and had many more races together, always having fun and learning new things.
