Preface "Hey, hurry up!" said Tom the woodpecker flying by his friend Sally. "What? Where to?" asked Sally. "There's a race coming up. Most of our friends are already at the sunny meadow." Sally spread her wings and took off. It was an early summer day. She felt the warm breeze of the wind beneath her wings. She flew above the nearby lake and saw from afar that the Stork was cooking a stew. An appetizing smell was steaming up from the cooking pot. There was no time to stop and chat with the Stork, because she was already nearing the sunny meadow. She saw Tom sitting high up on an elm tree branch and flew down to join him. "I hope I'm not late," she said. "You're right on time. It's just about to start." Down below, the Tortoise and the Hare were already lining up. The meadow was full of curious little animal faces. Peeking through the clouds, the sun was no less curious than everyone else. The racers were ready and waiting for the start signal. It was a challenge like no other.
