Taron sat in his red car. The wheels went rumble rumble. “Here I come!” said Taron.
He zoomed past the bed, round the chair, down the hall. Faster and faster. His hair went whoosh.
⁂
The finish flag was a yellow sock. It flapped on a stick. Then the sock went flop on Taron’s face. Oh dear!
Taron could not see the road. The car went wiggle wiggle. Taron felt worried.
He whispered, “Slow, slow, little car.” The car went putt putt. The sock slid down with a soft plop.
Taron saw the line. He raced again. The wheels went rumble rumble, faster and faster.
He crashed through the sock flag. Pop! It landed on his head like a hat.
Taron laughed. “I win, sock hat!” he said. The red car beeped beep beep.
At last, Taron parked by his bed. He hugged the wheel. Hooray for the happy race.
