Once upon a time, in a snowy town, there was a group of friends who loved all kinds of transportation. They had a sled, in-line skates, snowboard, skateboard, skis, unicycle, and scooter. One day, they decided to have a race to see who had the fastest ride. The sled went first, but it was too slow. The in-line skates were next, and they were too slippery. The snowboard was next, but it kept falling over. The skateboard was next, but it couldn't handle the soft snow. The skis were next, but they kept getting stuck in the snow. The unicycle was next, but it was too wobbly. Finally, the scooter went last, and it was the fastest of them all! Everyone cheered and celebrated the scooter's victory. From that day on, they all learned that the best ride is the one that brings the most joy.

• Which ride was the slowest in the story?
• Which ride was too slippery in the story?
• Why do you think the scooter won the race?
