TIMBU SKATES TO VICTORY

Once, in a forest lived a proud rabbit named Rinku. 

One day, as Rinku was walking through the forest, he saw Timbu Tortoise crawling towards the river. "Yay! It will be such fun to challenge him to a race," thought RInku. He shouted out, "Hey Timbu, do you dare to have a race with me?"

Poor Timbu! How could he run as fast as Rinku? So he replied, "No friend. I can't run as fast as you do".

"Hee! Hee! you cannot run fast. Anyway, I am going to run up to the other end of the forest." Then, Rinku sped away.

Timbu sat sadly on a rock and thought, "If only I could run fast".

Just then, a mermaid sprung up from the river and said, "Don't worry, Timbu. Here is a pair of roller skates for you. Wear them, and run on their wheels."

Timbu accepted the mermaid's gift, and sped along the forest.
On the way, he saw, Rinku Rabbit dashing along. Timbu whooshed past Rinku, and reached the finishing point first. When Rinku Rabbit reached the finishing point, he felt ashamed and he thought, "I shouldn't have challenged Timbu Tortoise to the race after all."
