So the rest turtles moved quickly, determined by their smooth shells that slice through water in this manner arriving at the objective in the blink of an eye. In any case, Toby couldn’t allow them to move away excessively far. He utilized his flippers considerably more enthusiastically each time he took a stroke and sped up, gazing directly toward the award.

The race created and achieved many difficulties for Toby as it advanced. There were risky flows around him he expected to go through, sharp shakes to stay away from and adversaries would attempt to pass him at each corner. Eventually, he figured out how to remain concentrated during the whole time with next to no interruption till he completed it.

Finally, he was unable to conceal happiness when at last Toby delegated his work with the last touch. The crowds supported him to triumph’s foundation, where he stood pompously.
