Timmy and His Sports Car.
Timmy was an extremely slow turtle, so agonizingly slow that he invariably arrived late everywhere. He missed the bus, the train, the movie - everywhere, he was always an hour or two late. His constant lag filled him with deep sadness and a sense of loneliness.
Nevertheless, Timmy cherished a deep love for cars and dreamed of someday owning a fast sports car. He never gave up. With tireless effort, he worked hard and saved every penny he could gather. He did chores for his neighbors, sold lemonade, and cleaned up the park. After many years, he had finally saved enough money to realize his dream. With determination, he went to the car dealership and bought a beautiful black convertible.
Suddenly, he was the fastest turtle in the world. He could go anywhere he wanted, overtake all the other cars, feel the wind in his face. He would never be late anywhere again. He was always on time. He made many new friends and had a tremendous amount of fun. He was the happiest turtle ever.
One day, he came across a poster for a race. Determined to test his speed, he decided to participate. He signed up and went to the starting line. There were all sorts of other fast cars, which made him somewhat nervous but mostly excited.
The race began, and Timmy floored it. He drove as fast as he could and left all the other cars far behind. He reached the finish line first and won the race. The cheers of the crowd filled the air, and everyone congratulated him. Proudly, he stared at his car and at himself.
At that moment, he realized that he had achieved his dream. He was no longer the slow turtle, but the fastest in the world. He had everything he wished for: a fast sports car, countless friends, and an abundance of joy. He was the happiest turtle that had ever lived. And so, he lived for more than a hundred years, as a happy turtle.
