It's story night and the Teddies are going to read 'The Hare and the Tortoise' to the Bananas and Rat. Rat has never heard the story before, so Tolstoy the turtle tells him. Rat can't believe that a slow tortoise could ever beat a speedy hare. In fact, Rat thinks the idea is so silly that he'll even prove it to everyone, so he challenges Tolstoy to a race!
