In a colorful garden, lived Donald the ant. One day, he decided to join the Great Race.

The Great Race was an event where all bugs could show their speed. Donald was determined to win.

He trained every day, running up twigs and lifting tiny pebbles. His friend, Pete the caterpillar, watched.

Pete noticed Donald's hard work and said, 'Wow, you're getting stronger every day, Donald!'

On the day of the race, Donald was nervous. His six legs shook as he approached the starting line.

Bugs of all kinds were there. Bees, spiders, and even a ladybug. They all wanted to win.

The whistle blew, and they were off! Donald moved quickly, running as fast as his legs could carry him.

Halfway through, Donald stumbled over a twig but quickly picked himself up and continued racing.

Donald saw a butterfly struggling to fly in the wind. He stopped to shield her with a leaf.

After ensuring the butterfly was safe, Donald dashed off. He remembered his desire to win.

The finish line was close. Donald pushed himself and crossed it with a leap, feeling triumphant.

Although he didn't come first, Donald felt proud. He had run a great race and helped a friend.
