Once upon a time, in a little town, there was a big race happening. Everyone in the town was excited, and the streets were filled with a big crowd of people.

The race was called "The Finish Line Frenzy," and it was held every year. This year, the race was going to be even more exciting because it wasn't just a regular race. It was a standing race!

All the participants had to stand on one leg and hop to the finish line. It was quite a sight to see all the people hopping and trying not to fall over.

One of the participants was a little chicken named Chirpy. Chirpy was determined to win the race and show everyone in the town that he was the fastest hopper.

As the race started, Chirpy was off to a great start, hopping at lightning speed. But soon, he realized that he had a big problem. He had forgotten to put on his glasses and he couldn't see where he was going!

So, Chirpy hopped blindly, bumping into things and people along the way. But, despite all the obstacles, Chirpy never gave up. He kept hopping and finally made it to the finish line, just in time!

The crowd cheered as Chirpy was declared the winner of The Finish Line Frenzy. From that day on, Chirpy was known as the fastest and funniest hopper in the town.

And, every year, when The Finish Line Frenzy was held, Chirpy would always stand tall and proud, ready to hop to victory once again.
