One sunny day in Greenwood Forest, the Wise Owl announced a contest: "Who is the fastest, tallest, or most colorful animal here?"

Cheetah ran faster than Parrot. "I’m faster than you!" he said.
But Giraffe stretched her neck higher than Cheetah. "I’m the tallest!" she declared.

Parrot, with feathers more colorful than anyone else’s, squawked: "I’m the most colorful bird in the forest!"

Suddenly, Tiny Mouse squeaked: "But I’m the smallest… is that bad?"
Wise Owl smiled: "No! You’re the best at hiding. Every animal is better at something different!"

The animals cheered. That night, they ate the sweetest berries and agreed: Greenwood Forest was the most wonderful home of all!
