Snow was falling rapidly down big rock mountain, but inside a warm cave hole a baby poodle slept. He dreamed of entering the annual mountain climbing race, but was the only poodle there. His paws weren’t tough enough. He was not fast enough, he wasn’t built right for mountain climbing. Inside his dream he was climbing A mile a minute and winning The race. He woke just as he was about to get the first place trophy.

“If only dreams were real” he sighed sadly. How nice would it be to feel the rushing wind on his back and the sound of crunching snow under his paws.

It was then that Benji the poodle decided he was going to enter the trials no matter what. So the training began endless days of running applause and jumping from cliffs.

Finally the day of the trials began, first there was mountain racing The Strength climbing. Benji anxiously waited for the trial results but…He didn’t get in. A while later his friends came over and they had FUN for the first time in a month he was HAPPY. It felt better than rushing down a steep slope or flying over a stone hard mountain. For the first competition, maybe next year instead. Right now, maybe one problem at a time, BOOM!!! Avalanche!
