Tar’s victory
Faizan Jalin
Once there was a velociraptor named Tar. Tar was a happy child, but T-rex bullied him always.
One Wednesday, Tar said to himself, "If I need to stop T-Rex from bullying me, I need to be brave!''.
So, the next day at Dinosaur school, he went to recess and he went brave. T-Rex and his gang were already there.
"Hey Loser!" T-Rex called.
"I bet you aren't as sticky as actual tar!"
"Tell you what." said T-Rex again. "Tomorrow let's have a race. If you win, we stop bullying you. If I win, we get all your lunch money for a week."
"Ok", Tar said.
It was Friday morning and it was the day of the race. Tar was ready. He had been training since the previous day, after school. He had hoped, being a velociraptor was enough. At Dinosaur school, the race court was already ready. He and T-Rex lined up at the start point.
Ready, get set, go!!!
They took off. At first, T-Rex was in the lead. But eventually, Tar was right behind T-Rex. T-Rex tried swishing his tail to knock Tar away. But, Tar used his speed to dodge every attack.
The finish line was close. Tar stopped. But, T-Rex kept running. Then Tar made a giant jump and made it farther than T-Rex and even crossed the finish line. Everyone ran towards Tar and threw him into the air.
"Oh well", T-Rex said. "We will get him another time."
Tar said, "Now you need to stop bullying me".
"I will still remain brave to bullying, so do not even try," said Tar.
The end.
