Just race fast. I’ll race smart.”<br>Off went quick, quivering quail with buddies to have fun and stay up late.<br>Slow moving snail worked on a plan to move faster and go straight.<br>The day passed quickly for snail and quail as each went his separate way.<br>Night was short and soon a bright new sun hailed the start of race day.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Quick, quivering quail was tired after staying out late with his best friend.<br>Slow moving snail slept well and had his plan for how the race would end.<br>Snails and quails crowded ‘round as queen ant started to whine, <br>“Loosen up your shell and feathers; then step to the starting line.<br>On your mark, get ready, get set, now off you two go.”<br>Quick quivering quail rushed down the track… sir snail started slow.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">It wasn’t long before quick quail had quivered across two dales, and then<br>Thought he’d just catch 40 winks before trying that much track again.<br>He thought, “I could walk in my sleep and still win this race.<br>That slow moving snail, carrying his shell along. What a big disgrace! ”<br>So off he went into Dreamland, seeing candy stores over the next dale.<br>Or was it two more hills that were the end of this easy trail? </div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br>Meanwhile slow moving snail studied his map as he moved along.<br>He smiled at flowers and friends on the hill; then broke into song, <br>“I’ve worked hard for this race and thank each and every fan.<br>I’m confident that I’ll win, but if not, I can always try again.<br>With your cheers and my hard work, “slow” won’t mean “lose”.<br>Victory depends not on just our skills, but how much of them we use.”</div><div style="margin:10px 0">As slow snail topped the hill, it rained, but not on a single snail fan.<br>They had umbrellas, since slow snail had checked with the weatherman.<br>His name now was “quick snail” as he slid down the hills of water and mud.<br>Rain woke quick quivering quail as a big dropp hit his head with a thud.<br>Quail ran faster as he thought he saw the finish line with each advance…<br>But shrieked, “Oh no, I can’t believe it. This line is made up of ants! ”</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Snail’s slide downhill helped him move over the dale as never before.<br>Soon there it was within sight and smell…that winning candy store.<br>Then snail’s moves were much slower and he could hear a noise behind.<br>Sure, it was quick quail, so snail reached for all the strength he could find.<br>Before he knew it, slow moving snail was in front of the candy store.<br>So proud, he yelled, “I Love You All! ” as he listened to the crowd roar.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Gregory+Huyette">Gregory Huyette</a><div class=q>
