Timmy’s Brave Race 提米的勇敢競賽

📖 故事 Story

Once upon a time, in a beautiful forest, there lived a little turtle named Timmy. Timmy was different from the other animals because he had a disability that made it hard for him to walk. But Timmy was very brave and always tried his best. One day, there was a big race in the forest. All the animals were excited to participate. Timmy wanted to join too, but he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to keep up. His friends encouraged him and said, “Timmy, you can do it! Just try your best!” Timmy decided to join the race. He started slowly, but he kept moving forward. Along the way, he faced many challenges, but he never gave up. The other animals cheered for him, and Timmy felt very happy. In the end, Timmy didn’t win the race, but he finished it. All the animals clapped and celebrated his bravery. Timmy realized that it wasn’t about winning or losing, but about trying his best and never giving up.

很久很久以前，在一片美麗的森林裡，住著一隻名叫提米的小烏龜。提米與其他動物不同，因為他有殘疾導致他行走困難。但提米非常勇敢，總是盡力做好每件事情。有一天，森林裡舉行了一場大型的賽跑比賽。所有的動物都很興奮地參加。提米也想參加，但他擔心自己跟不上。他的朋友們鼓勵他說：「提米，你可以的！只要盡力就好！」因此提米決定參加比賽。他一開始跑得很慢，但他一直持續向前移動。一路上，他面臨了許多挑戰，但他從未放棄。其他動物為他加油，提米感到非常高興。最後，提米並沒有贏得比賽，但他完成了比賽。所有的動物都為他的勇敢鼓掌慶祝。提米意識到這並不在於輸贏，而在於盡力而為、永不放棄。
