Once upon a time, there was a group of clothes who lived in a wardrobe. One day, they decided to have a race to see who was the fastest. Tracksuit, Socks, Trousers, Cardigan, Shorts, Shoes, Dress and Coat all lined up at the starting line.

When the race began, Tracksuit shot out in front, but then tripped and fell. Socks tried to catch up, but kept slipping on the finish line. Trousers got tangled up and couldn't move. Cardigan was too warm and started to take off layers, slowing down.

Shorts were running strong, but then got snagged on a bush. Shoes tripped over a rock and fell behind. Dress, who was running gracefully, got caught on a branch and tore.

Just when it seemed like no one would win, T-Shirt came in last, but crossed the finish line with a big smile on his face. All the other clothes cheered for T-Shirt, realizing that having fun was more important than winning the race.

And that is why, from that day on, T-Shirt became the most popular clothing item in the wardrobe, and everyone wanted to be just like him!
