In the garden, a snail named Speedy was known for his peculiar speed. His quick movements startled the other snails who moved at a traditional snail's pace.

Slowpoke, the largest snail, always wondered how Speedy could move so fast. He decided to ask Speedy and unravel the mystery behind his speed.

Slowpoke approached Speedy during a snail gathering. He asked Speedy, 'How do you move so fast?' Speedy simply smiled and said, 'It's my secret.'

Slowpoke became more curious and insisted, 'Please, Speedy, tell us your secret.' Speedy agreed to reveal his secret if Slowpoke could keep up with him in a race.

The race day arrived. Slowpoke and Speedy were at the starting line. All the snails watched eagerly as the leaf dropped, signaling the start of the race.

Speedy shot off at his unusual speed, while Slowpoke began his slow, steady crawl. The crowd of snails cheered them on, their tiny eyes twinkling with excitement.

Speedy reached the finish line far ahead of Slowpoke, reaffirming his title as the fastest snail. The crowd erupted in cheers, celebrating Speedy's victory.

Slowpoke finally reached the finish line, tired but determined. He looked at Speedy and said, 'Alright, Speedy, I kept my promise. Now tell me your secret.'

Speedy led Slowpoke to a quiet corner. With a gleam in his eyes, he said, 'My secret, Slowpoke, is simple. I always keep my shell light.'

Slowpoke looked puzzled. Speedy explained, 'I only carry with me what's essential. The less you carry, the faster you move. It's not just about speed, it's about efficiency.'

Slowpoke thanked Speedy for his wisdom. The snails started to follow Speedy's advice, and soon, they were all moving a bit faster than before.

Speedy's secret had not only made him the fastest snail but also changed the lives of all the snails in the garden. They learned the value of carrying only what's essential.
