*Story Summary:*
Once upon a time, a clever snail and a boastful monkey meet while searching for food. The monkey mocks the snail for its slow pace, doubting the snail's ability to find food. In response, the snail challenges the monkey to a race across three mountains and three valleys.
Confident of his speed, the monkey agrees. However, the snail devises a clever plan, enlisting the help of his relatives to strategically place themselves ahead of the monkey throughout the race. Every time the exhausted monkey calls out, a snail ahead responds, making the monkey believe he is being outrun by the slow snail.
