Toby was a tiny turtle who lived by a beautiful pond. He loved to swim and play with his friends, but sometimes he felt sad because he was much slower than the other animals.

One day, there was a race to see who could reach the big tree first. All of Toby’s friends were excited to join. “I’ll win the race!” said the speedy rabbit. “I’m the fastest!”

Toby was nervous, but he decided to try anyway. “I might not be fast, but I can try my best!”

The race began, and everyone zoomed ahead. Toby went slowly, taking his time. But as the other animals hurried, they didn’t see a big rock in the path! One by one, they tripped over it.

Toby, moving slowly and carefully, avoided the rock and reached the tree first!

Moral of the Story: It’s okay to go at your own pace. Slow and steady can win the race!
