Once upon a time there was a hare who loved to race. One day, he challenged a sly fox to a race from the forest to the sea. The hare hopped into his car and took off, but the cunning fox had a different plan.
He convinced a duckling to carry him on her back, and they set sail on a ship.
As they sailed, they saw a bear fishing on the shore, and asked him to join the race. The bear agreed and caught a ride on a passing frog.
When they finally arrived at the sea, they all cheered and celebrated, but the hare realized that the true winner was friendship and fun!
