Chapter 6 Competition
Hagrid, the physical education teacher, is a giant tortoise. This reminds the turtle turtle of the legendary Hercules turtle - Ao Bulie. But Mr. Hagrid just looks very powerful, and his mouth will make everyone laugh.
"Hello, little turtles, I'm your most handsome, coolest, and strongest gym teacher, Hagrid!"
Teacher Hagrid flexes his arm muscles to the turtle students.
"Let me see what you little arms and legs can do?"
It touched this one's arm, patted the other's leg, and when it walked up to the tortoise, Mr. Hagrid patted the tortoise on the back, and the tortoise almost didn't make a move.
Teacher Hagrid shook his head and sighed regretfully:
"Hey, I don't even have the strength of an ant, if I throw you into the forest, I'm probably scared to pee my pants!"
Mr. Hagrid's words caused everyone to laugh.
The turtle was not at all amused, and said unconvinced:
"Tigers have great strength, but they can't fight elephants, and elephants have great strength, and they may not have won ants!"
Teacher Hagrid was a little impressed by the stubborn little turtle, he looked at the name tag on the turtle, nodded and said:
"Arctic, well, may your body be as nimble as your mind!"
As a contemplative tortoise, the tortoise is not very fond of sports and prefers to spend most of its time exploring the mysteries of the world.
"Running is a sport that every pet must train, in addition, you can also choose other activities that you are interested in, it doesn't matter what you choose, it is mainly for physical fitness!"
Teacher Hagrid took everyone to run in the playground, because of his small size, short legs, and slow speed, the turtle turtle had fallen far behind the students, and he couldn't outrun everyone anyway, so the turtle had to follow slowly.
"You've got to run faster!" Teacher Hagrid came to it and shouted.
"But I don't want to be an athlete!" Turtle muttered quietly.
"Watch out for snakes!" Hagrid whispered in the turtle's ear.
Everyone knows that turtles are naturally afraid of snakes, and when they hear the snake, they reflexively retract their heads into their shells. After a while, Mr. Hagrid patted the tortoise's shell, and the tortoise cautiously stuck its head out. It turned out that Mr. Hagrid deliberately scared it, and the turtle was a little angry.
"It's not bad to know that you can quickly avoid danger, a smart head and a flexible body are more powerful, you are a smart turtle, you will catch up with everyone with more practice, come on and run!"
Mr. Hagrid's words gave Turtle a lot of encouragement.
Mr. Hagrid is right, in the future, I want to travel like the Himalayas, to the Himalayas, to the North Pole, to other planets, if I can't run in danger, it won't work.
So the turtle practiced seriously, and gradually he fell in love with sports, especially high jump and skateboarding, which is not an easy task for turtles. But the turtle just wants to challenge what others don't dare to do.
I saw that the turtle and turtle found the right point of focus, put on a jumping posture, grabbed the bamboo pole and rushed over quickly, supported it hard, and jumped down from the sky, Nana kept shouting and cheering next to her.
"Arctic, you're amazing!"
Skateboarding is a new sport in pet schools, and for many pets, it is a difficult sport, not to mention turtles, even dogs, cats, rabbits, standing on skateboards will shiver.
It took a lot of effort for the turtle to control the balance of his body, and finally the skateboard became obedient under his feet.
The turtle stood on the skateboard and writhed back and forth, gliding freely on the playground like a snake, and soon it shook off the other students on the playground, and Nana kept shouting and cheering around.
"Arctic, you're amazing!"
Turtle became the best high jumper and skateboarder in the class.
The clever turtle who can jump high and skateboard is famous in the whole school.
However, this matter was known to the rabbit class next door. Ever since the famous tortoise and hare race in which the tortoise narrowly won the hare, the rabbits have always hated the tortoise.
There is an arrogant little white rabbit in the rabbit class, who is delicate and often plays tricks on the tortoise. It carried a few rabbits with crossed hands, blocking the turtles and Nana as they passed by:
"I heard you're the turtle that can skateboard on a high jump?"
Without waiting for the turtle to speak, Nana proudly introduced:
"That's right, this is the famous high jump champion Mr. Arctic."
The rabbit shrugged her shoulders, raised her eyebrows at the rabbits behind her, and leaned down to mock the turtle and Nana:
"Since the turtle stole that championship, I really thought that the gold medal would always fall from the sky!"
The rabbits laughed crookedly, Nana's face turned red with anger, and the turtle tilted her head and said:
"Do you dare to compete in the arena?"
Ridicule is ridicule, really to compare, Jiaojiao is a little weak-hearted, she is the least athletic rabbit, not to mention the high jump and skateboarding that it doesn't dare to try at all, even if it runs, it may not be able to run to the end. It pushed the all-round athlete in the class, Grey Rabbit, to the front, rolled his eyes, and thought of a plan:
"Okay, it's better, but for the sake of fairness, we'll have to send our best rabbit Pippi to play against your best tortoise. The event is still running! ”
The rabbit's legs are longer than the tortoise's, which is obviously unfair, not to mention that the last game everyone knew that the rabbit snooze, and the tortoise won by luck.
"That's not going to work, you have to add one, high jump!" Nana thought to herself, rabbits are afraid of heights, so that the tortoise has an extra layer of chances of winning.
The rabbit crossed her hands, bent down, and said unyieldingly: "It's like running!" ”
Nana also crossed her waist, held her head high, and stubbornly replied: "No, it's higher than jumping!" ”
The two sides couldn't hold on, and the turtle thought for a while and said:
"Let's skateboard, it's fair to both sides!"
It didn't take long for the news of the turtle and rabbit challenging the skateboard competition to spread in the pet school, and the school was boiling, and cats, dogs, birds, and Dutch pigs all ran over to see the excitement.
The hare and tortoise race is a grudge left over from the last century, and the two families have been arguing since the self-righteous rabbit was narrowly won by the tortoise. Despite this glorious history, no tortoise has ever dared to challenge the rabbit again, except for this "arctic" tortoise.
Grey Rabbit Pippi is not as ill-fated as Jiaojiao, it has strong muscles, strong fists, long legs, is born to love sports, and is all-round in school sports.
Turtle said to a nervous Nana, "Don't worry, skateboarding isn't just about muscles, it's about intelligence!" ”
Nana had no doubts about the turtle's cleverness, but it was a competition after all, and Pippi's skateboard was a lot longer than the turtle's, and she would slide a lot of distance if she tried hard. It's not that easy to defeat Pippi, and Nana really sweats for the turtle.
The competition is scheduled for Friday afternoon, there are no classes at the school, and the venue is in the school playground. Originally, the tortoise wanted to compete in the park behind the school, but for the rabbit who eats a trench and grows wise, they don't want to make a difference, and the rabbit thinks that the tortoise likes to cheat in the hidden woods and hillsides.
The race is about to start, and there are three slopes in the middle of the playground, and according to the rules of skateboarding, the body cannot touch the ground in the middle of the game.
Turtle Turtle repeatedly studied the field before the game, the slope is the skateboard accelerator, as long as the feet do not touch the ground, how to make good use of these three slopes is the key to winning this game.
The game was very lively, all the pets came, even Mr. Hagrid came to watch the game.
As soon as the electronic referee's whistle fell, Pippi Grey Rabbit slid off the track on his skateboard, and soon left the turtle far behind.
The rabbit was excited, and it cast a smug look at Nana. Nana didn't have time to pay attention to Jiaojiao, she was organizing a cheerleading team for the turtles.
Grey Rabbit Pippi had already slid to the first slope, but because he didn't jump hard enough, he slipped up the slope and slipped back again, rushing back and forth three times before sliding over the first slope.
The turtle was far behind Pippi at first, but it was a clever turtle that had already calculated where to jump.
"Rush!" "Jump!" "Fall", the turtle silently said in his heart, and it rushed out of the first slope in a beautiful posture and landed firmly in front of Pipsqueak.
"Beautiful!" Even Brazil, which despises turtles the most, applauds loudly.
As soon as the tortoise was caught up by Pippi the rabbit, he used the second slope to successfully leave Pipsqueak behind.
The cheerleaders of the rabbit class and the turtle class cheered one after another. The rabbit Jiaojiao saw that the momentum was not good, and with a roll of its eyes, it quietly walked to the back of the cheerleader and picked up a small stone on the ground.
When the turtle rushed up the third slope and flew into the air, a small stone smashed over, the turtle's center of gravity was unbalanced, his body was crooked, and with an "ah" sound, the turtle shrank its head and rolled down the edge of the skateboard.
The body touched the ground, and the turtle fouled! It's a pity that no one saw the process of the turtle being thrown stones by Jiaojiao.
"Arctic foul!" The turtle cheerleaders, who were still immersed in the joy of winning just now, were confused by this accident!
"What's going on?" Nana looked at the rabbit cheerleaders on the opposite side in confusion, Jiaojiao had returned to the rabbit cheerleaders, she glanced at Nana proudly, stroked the snow-white fur on her body with her hand, and looked triumphantly at Pipsqueak, who had almost reached the finish line.
"Pipsqueak wins!"
"The rabbit wins!"
"The turtle lost!"
The news spread throughout the campus. The turtle held a skateboard, touched his smashed head, and sat down on the track in disappointment.
Nana ran over and comforted it: It's okay, turtle, you're already great, if it weren't for this last accident, the champion would definitely be you! ”
The turtle whispered to Nana, "It's not an accident, someone is plotting against me!" I was stoned! ”
"Huh?" Nana then noticed that a big red envelope bulged out on the turtle's head.
"No wonder, when you're about to win, why did you suddenly fall down? It turned out that the rabbits were cheating, no, I have to tell everyone about their despicable practices! ”
"But we don't have evidence, and everyone doesn't believe it, forget it, it's just a game, and we can win it back in the school sports meeting in the future!" The turtle persuaded Nana.
"No, this isn't a match between you and Pipsqueak, it's a battle of honor between our tortoise and rabbit families, we can't just leave it at that!"
