Read the story Bruno and the Race:
It was a bright, sunny day, and the entire penguin colony was out fishing. Bruno, a young penguin, got up on the highest iceberg and let out a huge squawk. Everyone turned, looked up, and stared. He shouted as loud as he could, "I challenge Jeanette and Trevor to a race!" Bruno could hear everyone snickering, saying he was too small and would never win. Bruno yelled again, "I am serious! If I lose, I will give 100 fish to the winner!" That amount of fish is three full days of hard work for Bruno.
Jeanette and Trevor were the fastest penguins in the entire colony. They would slide and jump all over the ice while the rest of the penguins tried to keep up. No one could beat them, and most had tried. The only penguin that had not challenged them was Bruno. He was a very small penguin, and no one thought he was fast enough, so he never tried to challenge them, until now. Bruno had been practicing his racing technique every evening. He was ready to show the colony his newfound confidence.
They waddled up to the starting line. Jeanette, Trevor, and Bruno made eye contact with each other as they stretched. The colony counted down, "Three! Two! One! Go!" The three penguins took off. Jeanette and Trevor were in the lead, but as they approached the finish line, they saw a flash of black and white fly past them! Bruno used the last jump to give him the speed he needed to win the race. Using the jumps for speed was Bruno's new technique to win races. His size didn't matter. Bruno shared his new skill with the other penguins in the colony. Bruno wanted to help them become faster so that everyone had a chance at winning races. The entire colony thanked Bruno, and everyone was sorry for doubting him.
