One day, Hoppy heard about a race being held at the far end of the meadow. The prize was a delicious stalk of fresh clover and the title of the fastest grasshopper in the meadow. Hoppy was determined to win both.
As the day of the race approached, Hoppy trained harder than ever. He practiced jumping over blades of grass and through the air, making sure he was ready for the big day.
On the day of the race, Hoppy was all set to go. The starting gun went off and the race began. Hoppy started out strong, darting through the air and easily out-jumping all the other grasshoppers.
But as Hoppy was approaching the finish line, he heard a loud buzzing sound. He turned to see a bee flying straight for him, intent on getting in his way.
Hoppy didn't panic, though. He quickly thought of a plan. Just as the bee was about to reach him, Hoppy stopped in mid-air and held out his arms. The bee, confused, flew right into Hoppy's embrace and became stuck.
With the bee now attached to his back, Hoppy resumed the race. He was a little slower, but still managed to reach the finish line first.
The other grasshoppers were in shock as Hoppy crossed the finish line. They couldn't believe that he had won with a bee stuck to his back!
But Hoppy didn't mind. He was just happy to have won the race and the fresh clover. And as he took a bite of the sweet, juicy stalk, he couldn't help but laugh at the silly, dashing grasshopper he had become.
