All the fishes and turtles were
very much excited that day, for
there was to be a race between
Peter and Sammy Turtle from
their home to Miss Mermaids
cave. They were to start at noon
from Big Rock, at the bottom of
the sea, and swim or run as fast
as they could to the cave on the
shore, where the winner would be
presented with a coral chain and a
new shell. Then that evening at
shutdown the fish families and the
turtle families planned to have a
Sammy Turtle was very sure he
would win because he was younger
and could swim much faster than
big Peter, who was said to be at
least 200 years old.
At IL O'Clock exactly Peter and
Sammy slid off Big Rock and start
ed on the way. Every fish tapped
his fins and cheered. Sammy soon
left Peter way behind. After a
while he began to tire, so he
crawled upon a rock to rest while
he watched for Peter to come, but
he went to sleep and sly old Peter
slipped by In his slow and steady
way toward Miss Mermaid's cave.
And Sammy woke up too late.
When he reached the cave after
swimming as fast as he could, how
surprised he was to see that slow
old Peter had beaten him! Every
body laughed because they thought
1t was such good joke on Sammy
when he had been so sure he would
win that he had Dragged a lot,
while Peter had kept still.
