Once upon a time, there were two friends named Max and Lily. They loved to play games and compete against each other to see who was the best. One day, they came across a strange entrance that led to an unknown world. They both wanted to enter, but only one of them could go in.

Max and Lily thought about it for a while and then came up with a solution. They decided to have a race to see who would get to enter the entrance first. The winner would get to explore the unknown world.

The race began and both friends ran as fast as they could. They were neck and neck, but in the end, they both crossed the finish line at the same time. They were equal!

Max and Lily were surprised and didn't know what to do. They had never been equal before. Then, they remembered that they were best friends and that they always had each other's backs.

Together, they entered the entrance and explored the unknown world, discovering new wonders and making memories that they would never forget. They learned that being equal was even better than winning because they had each other and their friendship was the greatest prize of all.
