Will Bob win?” said Buzz the Ref. Up the hill, they ran on soft moss. It was quick to run on the moss. The sun was hot, but Al and Bob still ran. In the grass, Big Bob and Al Ant’s legs got stuck. Bob and Al cannot run fast in the wet mud, but Bob and Al still ran.“Will Al win? Will Bob win?” said Buzz the Ref. Huff and puff went Big Bob up the hill, but Al was quick and ran to the rock. “Al the Ant wins!” said Buzz the Ref. “But is Big Bob lost?” Buzz and Al hunt for Bob. “Bob is not lost. He just went to rest his legs,” said Buzz the Ref. Al bent back the grass to spot Bob. Back in the grass, Bob sits in the damp mud and fans himself.“You did well, Al!” Bob said. “Tt was fun,” Al said with a grin. “We both did well.” Al the Ant and Buzz the Ref lent Big Bob a hand, and off the three went.
