#1

It was a beautiful sunny day by the pond.

#2

Today was a very special day.

#3

It was the day of the Big Pond Race!

#4

"Welcome, everyone! Welcome to the Big Pond Race! Who wants to run today?" says Mr. Red.

#5

"I do! I do! I am the fastest duck at the pond. Nobody can beat me!" says Gaga.

#6

"Gaga is very fast. He always wins!" says Bubbles.

#7

"I want to run too. Can I join the race?" asks Loopy.

#8

"You? But Loopy, you are so slow! I am much faster than you!" says Gaga.

#9

"I know I am slow. But I want to try," says Loopy.

#10

"Everyone can join the race. Good luck, Loopy," says Mother Duck.

#11

Loopy and Gaga stood at the starting line.

#12

The race went all the way around the pond and back.

#13

"Are you ready? On your marks... get set... GO!" says Mr. Red.

#14

Gaga ran very, very fast. Zoom! He was far ahead in seconds.

#15

"Ha ha! Look at me! I am running so fast! Loopy is so far behind!" says Gaga.

#16

Loopy did not run. He walked. Slowly and steadily. One step at a time.

#17

"One step, two steps, keep going. One step, two steps, keep going," says Loopy.

#18

"Go, Loopy! You can do it!" says Bubbles.

#19

Gaga was so far ahead, he could not even see Loopy anymore.

#20

Then he saw a big bush full of red berries.

#21

"Oh! Berries! I love berries! Loopy is so slow. I have lots of time. I will eat some berries first," says Gaga.

#22

Gaga stopped to eat. He ate one berry, two berries, three berries, four.

#23

But where was Loopy?

#24

Loopy was still walking. Slowly and steadily. He never stopped.

#25

"One step, two steps, keep going. I am not fast, but I will not stop," says Loopy.

#26

Gaga finished his berries and started running again.

#27

But then he saw a big mud puddle.

#28

"A mud puddle! I love mud puddles! Loopy is still far behind. I can play for a little bit," says Gaga.

#29

Gaga played in the mud. He splashed and splashed.

#30

He was having so much fun, he forgot about the race.

#31

And Loopy? He was still walking. One step at a time.

#32

He was getting closer and closer.

#33

"One step, two steps, keep going. Slow and steady. I will not stop," says Loopy.

#34

"Look at Loopy. He is slower, but he is not stopping. That is very important," says Mother Duck.
