Once upon a time, there were Seven silly friends named One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six and Seven. They decided to have a race from the top of a hill to the bottom. They all lined up at the starting line and the race began!

Five was hopping on one foot, Eight was skipping, Six was doing a cartwheel, Two was crawling, Three was rolling, Seven was jumping and One was running. They all reached the bottom of the hill, out of breath and tired.

When they gathered around to see who had won, they realized that they all had different ways of moving and that each one was unique. They laughed and hugged each other, realizing that they didn't need to win a race to have fun and be happy. The end.

Reflections

1. What were the different ways each friend moved during the race?
2. Why did the friends hug each other at the end of the story?
3. What did the friends learn about themselves and each other during the race?
4. Can you think of a time when you felt unique or special in your own way?
5. How could you apply the lesson from the story to your own life?
