Once upon a time, there was a steer named Stretch who loved to glide through the fields. One day, he heard about a new way to travel that involved a special track and a rider. So, he decided to give it a try and went to find the rider who could teach him how to bend and use the track to glide even faster. The rider was a bit skeptical at first, but after seeing Stretch's enthusiasm, she agreed to help him. They practiced for hours and finally, the day of the big race arrived. Stretch was so excited, he couldn't wait to show off his skills. When the race began, Stretch bent and glided as fast as he could, leaving all the other participants far behind. Everyone cheered as Stretch crossed the finish line, becoming the fastest glider on the track. From that day on, Stretch was known as the bendiest steer in all the land, and he continued to travel and glide with a big smile on his face.
