Once there was to be held a great race. The prize for which was very desirable. Trevor’s friends were excited about the race and preparing themselves for the event.

“Are you racing to Trevor?” His friend, the squirrel, inquired.

“Not planning on it,” Trevor replied.

The squirrel frowned. “Are you not tempted by the prize?”

“Yes, of course, I’d love to win, but I’m not sure I can…" Trevor sighed, "The birds can fly, you can leap from tree branch to tree branch, and the fox can run much faster than I. I don’t stand a chance.”

After much persuasion, Trevor finally agreed to join the race. When the day finally arrived, it was gloomy, windy, and rainy. But since the prize could be spoiled, the race couldn’t be delayed. Off they went!

The racers sped off in their own unique way, using their best advantage. However, the birds couldn’t fly very straight because the wind was in their faces. The squirrel couldn’t leap from tree to tree because of how the branches thrashed about. The fox didn’t show up because he disliked the rain.

Meanwhile, Trevor scurried comfortably through a narrow underground tunnel he had dug. He popped his tiny head out of the tunnel just before the finish line, and much to his surprise, he had won the prize. 

"Thanks, everyone! This sure was fun." Trevor smiled as he was handed his prize.

The End.

"If you don’t participate, you can’t win."
