The anteater

and the dassie

lived near the Limpopo river in South Africa. They were always tried to find interesting ways of challenging each other with new games and races. Dassie showed his friend the intricate burrows and network of pathways built between the rocks. He had observed that it was difficult for his heavy friend to climb up and down the rocks and pathways. So he asked pangolin to race against him. Dassie smiled to himself because he was sure that he would win the race. Pangolin agreed to compete with his friend. Dassie won the first race. For the second race pangolin had thought of rolling downhill.

And he won the second race.  He understood that he could not run as fast as Sassiest. But he could roll down faster than his friend.
