Once upon a time, there was a foal who wanted to play with all the animals in the forest. One day, the foal met a puppy, a kitten, a chick, a cub, and a calf. They all wanted to play together, but they couldn't decide on what to play. The foal had an idea: "Let's have a race!" So, they all agreed and started running. The puppy was fast, but the kitten was nimble. The chick was light, but the cub was strong. The calf was steady, but the foal was quick. In the end, they all crossed the finish line at the same time, and they all realized that winning wasn't important, but having fun together was. They all laughed and hugged each other, and from that day on, they were the best of friends.

1. Why did the foal want to play with all the animals in the forest?
2. What did the foal, puppy, kitten, chick, cub, and calf decide to do together?
3. How did each animal perform in the race?
4. What did the animals learn from the race?
5. Why is it good to have friends?
