The Race

It was a spring day. The sun was shining like a torch. Peter was looking if his car was prepared for
the race that was going to be celebrated that afternoon. It was a little a car because Peter was a
short person, with a giant moustache, tiny arms and an enormous right foot. When he had finish
revising the car, he saw that a wheel had a puncture. Peter ran to the garage to tell to the
mechanic. Later, the mechanic examined the situation…The puncture was so big that he needed a
new car! This was a big problem.

He went to a restaurant near the garage to have lunch. He was very worried. He thought “could be
a Jimmy’s plan?”. When he get back home, the mechanic said to Peter that he had a new car.
Peter smiled. It was the worst car he had ever seen but at least, it was something. He could
compete!

In the afternoon, in the center of Madrid, the race started with only two competitors. Peter and
Jimmy the Rat. During all the race, Jimmy had tried to cheat. Peter saw this.

Finally, because of this, Peter discover that Jimmy was the problem so at the end of the race,
Peter pushed Jimmy out of the road as if he was a rat and reached the finish line before him. He
felt very happy to be the winner.
