Once upon a time, there was a group of friends named Badminton, Skip, Swim, Piano, Ride, Cook, Skate and Volleyball. They all loved to have fun and play together. One day, they decided to have a big competition to see who was the best at each activity.

First up was Badminton, who showed off his amazing skills with the racket. Next was Skip, who skipped faster than anyone had ever seen before. Swim swam like a fish in the pool, and Piano played beautiful music on the keys.

Ride took everyone for a wild horseback ride, and Cook cooked up a delicious feast for everyone to enjoy. Skate skated circles around the others, and Volleyball spiked the ball over the net with ease.

But just when everyone thought the competition was over, Sing stepped up and sang a beautiful song that touched everyone's hearts. In the end, they all realized that the most important thing was having fun and enjoying each other's company. So they all danced and sang together, and lived happily ever after.
