Once upon a time, in a magical land, all the clothing items decided to have a race to see who was the fastest. The belt, crown and blouse were all excited to show off their speed but the sandals, trainers, swimsuit, gloves, necklace, mittens, scarf, ring and helmet all wanted to join in too!

The race started and the belt was off to a great start, but then the crown tripped over his own points and fell behind. The blouse was doing great, but then she got tangled up in her sleeves and slowed down. The sandals kept slipping and sliding, while the trainers got a flat tire.

The swimsuit was having a great time splashing through the puddles, but then the gloves got stuck in the mud and the necklace got tangled up in a tree. The mittens were too warm and started to melt, while the scarf got blown away by the wind. The ring got lost in the grass and the helmet just went in circles.

In the end, it was the swimsuit who crossed the finish line first, followed closely by the belt and the blouse. They all had a great time and learned that it’s not about winning or losing, it’s about having fun and enjoying the race!

4. What happened to the necklace and the scarf during the race?
5. What did the swimsuit do that was different from the other clothing items in the race?
