The Best of the Animals
2

• Once upon a time, there was a competition
  called The Best of the Animals. There were
  three competitors.

3

• They were a lion, an elephant and a mouse.

4

• The lion was called Best.
• He was proud.
• He was sure that he was the best and the most
  powerful animal in the forest.

5

• The elephant was called Friend.
• She was friendly, nice and kind.
• Most of the animals loved to make friends with
  her.

6

• The mouse was called Timid.
• She was the cleverest animal in the forest but
  she was timid.

7

• In the competition, they needed to take two
  challenges-river crossing and stone moving.

8

• They arrived at the river. The river was wide.
  The water was flowing fast. There was a tree
  trunk over the river.

9

• Timid said, This is a deep river. The tree
  trunk may fall into the river. I want to go home
  now. Then she went home.

10
Its so easy!

• Best said, Its so easy. Then he crossed the
  river proudly on the tree trunk.

11

• Friend did not say a word. She stepped into
  the river. Because she was heavy and big, the
  water didnt move her an inch.

12

• On the other side of the river, there were
  only Best and Friend because Timid had gone home.

13

• This time, they had to move a stone. The stone
  was as heavy as their weight.

14

• Best wanted to show his power so he used one
  hand to lift up his stone.

15

• But the stone was too heavy for him to lift up
  by one hand. The stone dropped and hurt his feet.

16

• Friend thought for a while. Then she rolled
  the stone with her trunk.

17

• At last, she won the competition.

18

• After the competition, Friend went to visit
  Best. Friend said You shouldnt be proudly.
  Best answer Okay. I will do my best next time.

19

• Then she also went to visit Timid and said
  Dont be timid. You are clever! Timid answered
  Thank you for your opinion.
