Once upon a time, in a jungle far, far away, all the animals decided to have a race. The cat was confident because it was fast, the rhinoceros was strong, the zebra was fast and had stripes to confuse its opponents, the polar bear was used to the cold, the cow was slow but determined, the mouse was small but quick, the wolf was cunning, the turtle was slow but steady, the cheetah was the fastest of them all, and the lion was the king of the jungle.

The race started and everyone was in a hurry. The cat was in the lead when suddenly, it tripped over a rock and fell. The rhinoceros caught up, but then it got stuck in a mud puddle. The zebra tried to use its stripes to escape the other animals but they just laughed. The polar bear was shivering in the heat, the cow was mooing loudly, the mouse was scurrying here and there, the wolf was howling, the turtle was slowly making its way to the finish line, the cheetah was in the lead but then it got a cramp and slowed down. The lion was last but then he remembered that he was the king of the jungle and roared loudly, scaring all the other animals and making them run away. The lion crossed the finish line first and was declared the winner!

Everyone had a great time at the race and learned that it's not just about winning, it's about having fun and being yourself. The end.
