Once upon a time, there was a car named "Speedy" who lived in the city. Speedy always wanted to learn about different countries, but he couldn't do it on his own. One day, he heard that all the preschool kids from around the city were going on a field trip to a new country, so he decided to sneak onto the bus! When they arrived, Speedy was amazed by all the new sights and sounds of the new country. He learned so much, and even made some new friends. But when it was time to go back to the city, Speedy realized he was stuck! He had to find a way back home before anyone noticed he was missing. So he hitched a ride with a friendly farmer and made it back just in time. From then on, Speedy was grateful for every opportunity to learn and explore new countries. The end.
