However, Tommy had a secret. Deep down he had an unquenchable thirst for speed. While other meadow friends rushed about their day, Tommy would absorb them with longing in his eyes. He watched the rabbits hopping and the squirrels jumping from tree to tree with intense desire to join them in the excitement. But every time he tried, his slow and steady nature held him back. One day, as the meadow friends gathered to cheer on a hopping competition organized by Gus and Gabby, Tommy's heart swelled with that longing. He wanted to participate, to feel the rush of the wind and the thrill of the race. But he knew his slow pace would never let him keep up. As Tommy was about to withdraw in his shell, Ollie the Owl noticed his sadness. Ollie was the wisest of the meadow friends, and he saw the hidden desire in Tommy's eyes and hooted gently. Tommy, why not consider using your unique qualities to your advantage? Tommy puzzled and asked, how can I do that, Ollie? I'm so slow! Ollie smiled and said, well Tommy, remember the story of the tortoise and the hare? Speed isn't the only thing that matters in a race. Why not give it a try and compete in the hopping contest, but with a twist of your own? Tommy's eyes lit up with hope. He thanked Ollie for his wisdom and approached Gus and Gabby with a proposal. They agreed to let Tommy participate in the race, intrigued by the idea of a turtle with a need for speed. But the day of the race arrived and all the meadow friends gathered and watched.
