Once upon a time, there was a group of animal friends who loved to go on adventures together. One day, they decided to have a race to see who could get to the finish line first.
The group consisted of a bird, a whale, an elephant, an octopus, a camel, an eagle, a bear, a giraffe, a parrot, a Polar bear, a fish, and a zebra.
They all started running but soon realized that this was not going to be easy. The whale kept getting stuck in the mud, the bird kept flying away, the octopus kept slipping, the giraffe kept getting tangled up in trees.
Finally, the Polar bear reached the finish line and declared himself the winner. But then he noticed that the others were nowhere to be found. He went to look for them and found them all stuck in various predicaments.
The Polar bear helped each and every one of his friends until they were all free. They all hugged and thanked him for being such a great friend.
From that day on, they all promised to help each other no matter what. And they all lived happily ever after, going on even more adventures together!
