Once upon a time, there was a little village where all the foods decided to have a race. Sweets, cake, sausage, pepper, pasta, meat, cabbage, water, juice, carrot, and milk all lined up at the starting line.

The race began and sweets took an early lead, but soon cake overtook him with her delicious frosting. Sausage tried to catch up but kept tripping over his own links. Pepper got a little too spicy and had to take a break.

Pasta, who was feeling very confident, suddenly found herself tangled in her own noodles. Meat was having a tough time keeping up because he was carrying a heavy load of bones. Cabbage was getting tired from all the bouncing and water was just too slippery to run on.

Juice was doing great, but then he spilled all over the place! Carrot was feeling strong and fast, but then he got stuck in some mud. Milk was having a great time, but then she realized she couldn't run without spilling.

In the end, they all decided to take a break and enjoy a big feast together. They realized that it didn't matter who won the race, as long as they all had fun and enjoyed each other's company. The End.

Reflections

• Who won the race in the end?
• Why did the foods decide to have a feast together?
• Which food was having trouble running due to its shape?
• Which food got stuck in mud?
• Was it important to win the race? Why or why not?
