Once upon a time, there was a jolly dog named Spot. Spot loved to run and play all day. He was very fast, and his shadow would speed along with him. One sunny day, Spot went to the park to play with his friends.
"Let's race!" said Spot to his friend, a small cat named Paws. They lined up and started to run. Spot was very fast, and his shadow sped along with him. Paws tried to keep up, but Spot was just too quick. They laughed and had a lot of fun.
Suddenly, as they raced, Spot's shadow jumped out in front of him. "Hi Spot!" said the shadow. Spot and Paws stopped running and looked at the shadow in surprise. "I can help you both be fast!" said the shadow. And just like that, Spot, Paws, and the shadow raced together, all of them jolly and fast, having the most fun they ever had.
