The Cheetah and the Sloth
One day a cheetah asks a whole group of animals to race him but they all say no because they know that he is the fastest animal in the forest. But one animal said, "I will race you." His name was sloth. The cheetah let the sloth race because he thinks he will definitely win. The cheetah said, "Meet me at the front of the forest and we will do one lap around the forest." The next day they are at the front of the forest to get ready for the race. The race is about to begin and the sloth said, "Good luck." and the cheetah said,"I don’t need luck I’m way faster than you." The sloth goes slow and steady but the cheetah is going as fast as he can but he got tired at half way and took a nap and the sloth past the cheetah.
Then right before the sloth past the finish line the cheetah woke up and saw the sloth about to pass the finish line and ran as fast as he could to catch up. But he lost and came in second place. The cheetah was so mad he left the forest and never returned. Everyone cheered for the sloth and threw a party for him. Then everyone was happy and they all forgot about the cheetah.
The theme is never be to cocky.
