A rabbit, a bear, and a squirrel are all arguing about who is the fastest animal in the forest. They decide to settle the argument once and for all by having a race.
The rabbit, being known for his speed, confidently says, "I am the fastest animal in the forest, there's no way you two can beat me!" The bear, feeling competitive, growls, "I may be big, but I am also fast. I will definitely beat you, rabbit!" The squirrel, feeling left out, chimes in, "I may be small, but I am quick and nimble. I think I have a chance at winning too!"
So, they all line up at the starting line and the race begins. The rabbit takes off like a bolt of lightning, leaving the bear and the squirrel in the dust. But as they near the finish line, the rabbit suddenly stops in his tracks, turns around, and comes back to the starting line.
The bear and the squirrel are confused and ask the rabbit, "Why did you stop? You were winning!" The rabbit responds with a mischievous grin, "I may be the fastest, but I just remembered I left the oven on at home. I've gotta go turn it off before my carrots burn!"
And with that, the rabbit sprints off into the forest, leaving the bear and the squirrel laughing hysterically at the ridiculous turn of events. And so, the squirrel ends up winning the race by default, proving that sometimes, it's not just speed that wins the day, but also a bit of quick thinking and a good sense of humor.
