Read together
Once upon a time, there was a sports competition where all the animals of the forest gathered to participate. The official, Mr. Fox, made sure everyone played fair and with good sportsmanship. But one day, a new player, Mr. Gorilla appeared. His aggressive technique was a never-before-seen phenomenon by the spectators. The other players found it hard to keep up with him, until a clever little squirrel came up with an idea. He challenged Mr. Gorilla to a race, but this time with a twist- they had to carry a big heavy log. To everyone's surprise, Mr. Gorilla struggled, while the smaller and nimbler animals easily completed the task. Mr. Gorilla learned that true sportsmanship is not just about winning, but about playing fair and having fun. From then on, he played with a smile and the spectators cheered for all the players. The end.
