Once upon a time, in a snow-covered land, there was a group of friends who loved to play in the snow. They had a scooter, a skateboard, a snowboard, a sled, and a unicycle.
One day, they decided to have a race to see who was the fastest on the snowy slopes. The scooter zoomed down the hill, but crashed into a tree. The skateboard couldn't handle the snow and ended up doing somersaults. The snowboarder tried to show off some tricks, but fell flat on his face. The sledder was having a blast, but got stuck in a snowdrift.
Just when they thought all hope was lost, the unicyclist came down the hill, gracefully balancing on one wheel and crossing the finish line first. "Who knew the unicycle was the best mode of transportation in the snow?" they exclaimed. From that day on, they all traded in their skis for unicycles.
The end.

Reflections

1. Why did the friends decide to have a race?
2. What happened to each of their modes of transportation during the race?
3. Who won the race in the end and why?
4. How do you think the friends felt after the race?
5. If you could pick any mode of transportation for a snowy race, which one would you choose and why?
