Once upon a time, there was a lorry that wanted to go on an adventure. He asked all his friends if they wanted to come along, but they were all busy. The ship said he had to cross the ocean, the bus was taking kids to school, the train was rushing to its destination, the bike was going for a ride in the park, the car was going to the grocery store, and the plane was flying high in the sky.

Just then, an open invitation came for a race between all modes of transportation. The lorry was excited and couldn't wait to show off his speed. The motorbike revved up his engine, the helicopter spun its blades, and the plane zoomed past them all.

As the race began, the lorry started to fall behind. But then he had a brilliant idea. He opened his back door and let all the wind rush in, propelling him forward. He zoomed past the motorbike, the helicopter, and even the plane!

When the lorry crossed the finish line, he was declared the winner. All the other modes of transportation were amazed by his creativity and cheered him on. From that day on, the lorry was known as the fastest mode of transportation in the land. The end.

Reflections

1. What was the lorry's problem at the beginning of the story?
2. Who won the race in the end and why?
3. What did the other modes of transportation do while the lorry was on his adventure?
4. How did the lorry become the fastest mode of transportation in the land?
5. What can we learn from the lorry's creativity in the story?
