THE OLYMPIC TRIAL

Many forest dwellers, including Meeku rat, Binny cat, and Jumbo elephant were on the ground.

There was still some time left for the trial of the athletes, so everyone was roaming here and there on the ground.

To be motivated, Meeku convinced himself that he would be successfully included in the team going to the Olympics.

Meeku was lost in his thoughts, and he bumped into someone while walking.

"Sorry, I didn't see you," Meeku said without looking up.

"No problem," said the person Meeku had collided with, but they were shocked as soon as they saw each other.

"Binny, you?"

"Meeku! Wow, today is my lucky day; the prey itself has come to the hunter," Binny said and pounced on Meeku.

As soon as Meeku saw Binny coming towards him, he turned and ran away.

While running, Meeku and Binny reached the racing track. There were hurdles on the racing track.

Meeku ran under the hurdles while Binny jumped over the hurdles and chased him.

Suddenly, Jumpy monkey came in front of them. As soon as Jumpy saw Meeku and Binny coming towards him at full speed, he took a high jump and landed on Jumbo's shoulder.

Jumbo, who was eating a burger, was startled by Jumpy's sudden appearance on his shoulder, and the burger slipped out of his hand.

"It's not my fault, Jumbo; everything happened because of Meeku and Binny," Jumpy said hurriedly as Jumbo looked at him in anger.

"They dropped my burger and now they are running away! Let me teach them a lesson, wait!"
