Jack and Mack were on the track. They had a race to see who was faster. Jack took the lead, but then he stumbled on a stack of rocks. Mack ran past him and got to the finish line first. "Good job!" said Jack. "Thanks," Mack replied. "Let's go back and have a snack." They walked off the track, happy to relax after their fun race.
