Once upon a time, there was a group of toys who lived in a big toy box. One day, the ship toy suggested they have a race to see who was the fastest. So they all got ready. The ball rolled, the doll skipped, the lorry drove, the bus honked, the top spun, the car revved its engine, the drum banged, the box scooted along, the kite flew high and the bell rang loudly. They were all neck and neck, but just as they were about to cross the finish line, a gust of wind came and blew the kite away! The kite floated far and away, leaving the other toys behind. But when it finally landed, it found that it had won the race after all! The other toys cheered and celebrated with the kite, realizing that sometimes the unexpected can be the biggest surprise.

The end.

Reflections

1. Who won the toy race at the end?
2. Which toy traveled the farthest in the race?
3. What happened to make the kite the winner?
4. How did the other toys feel about the kite winning the race?
5. What did the toys learn from their race?
