Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there were four best friends named Orange, Pineapple, Papaya, and Watermelon. They lived in a beautiful garden filled with all kinds of fruits and vegetables.

One day, Orange had an idea. "Let's have a race!" she exclaimed. "We can race to see who is the fastest fruit in the garden."

"I'm in!" Pineapple exclaimed. "I'm the best at running!"

"Me too!" said Papaya. "I'm the strongest fruit in the garden!"

Watermelon, who was always a bit shy, hesitated. "I don't know if I'm fast enough," she said.

"Don't worry," Orange said. "We'll all race together and have fun!"

So, the four friends set off on their race. Orange was quick on her feet, and Pineapple was fast, but Papaya was the strongest and Watermelon was determined.

As they raced through the garden, they passed by all kinds of fruits and vegetables. They passed by the strawberries, the apples, and even the carrots. Everyone cheered them on as they passed by.

Finally, they reached the finish line. And to everyone's surprise, Watermelon crossed the finish line first!

"Watermelon, you did it!" Orange exclaimed. "You're the fastest fruit in the garden!"

Watermelon was overjoyed. She had never felt so proud in her life. From that day on, she knew she could do anything she set her mind to.

From then on, Orange, Pineapple, Papaya and Watermelon were known as the fastest fruits in the garden and they all lived happily ever after.

The End.
