Editor's Note:  As mentioned previously, this new set of L & R stories are somewhat different from what you've been reading in the past. In these stories, Lemy and Rascal are young school kids and SuperTrain is a fox, known as ST Fox.

Thanks Chung Min Ru and Rita Low for your comments: As you can see below, ST Fox won't need his magic.
YOUR COMMENTS:
I am sure that ST Fox will win the race because he seem to have magic and besides, even if Billy come up with some tricks, ST fox will be able to sense it with his magic. [Min Ru]

Billy will hurt ST Fox if they fight, so the race is better because Billy won't be able to run fast. [Rita]

THIS WEEK'S STORY:
As ST Fox got himself ready to race the Kanga twins, he beckoned to Lemy and Rascal.

Whispering to them, he said "Watch out for the Bully...he may be dazed but I'm sure he'll be up to his tricks again during the race.

Lemy and Rascal nodded silently and moved away from the starting line.

48l&r_2.gif (20990 bytes) A fairly large crowd gathered to watch this extraordinary*(1) race.

Masher and Basher got themselves ready to run, confident that they could beat ST Fox.

Although they were stunned earlier by the magix powers of ST Fox, they were nevertheless sure that Billy would come up with a plan to help them win unfairly.


The Kanga twins were right because Billy was far from being sorry.

Just as someone flagged them off, Billy picked up a fairly large stone and threw it at ST Fox.

The race had to go on however, and now it was only ST Fox against Basher.

The minute they were flagged off, ST Fox zoomed off so quickly that all anybody could see was a fast-moving image that whizzed past them.

Basher hopped as fast as he could but just wasn't fast enough.

48l&r_5.gif (13572 bytes) As ST Fox came tearing round the bend*(2), he suddenly stopped and turned back to look at Basher hopping along.

"Come on, you slow poke! Let's see how fast you really are." he shouted. And then, to everyone's amazement, ST Fox simply stood there and waited for Basher to catch up.

As Basher came round the corner, all eyes were on ST Fox - to see if he would start running again. But the fox just stood there waiting patiently, looking a little bored.

Nobody noticed Billy sneaking back among the crowds.
Nobody saw Billy picking up a larger rock and...
Nobody saw him take aim at ST Fox.
48l&r_6.gif (13305 bytes) Nobody?

Well, not quite.

Lemy and Rascal were very alert, and as the bulldog lifted the rock above his head, they pounced on him.

"Arggghhh....get off my head" shouted Billy, drawing the attention of everyone there. Billy was so agitated*(3) that he dropped the rock...right on his own foot. His howls of pain were enough to shake the ground and Billy slowly limped away.

Everyone turned back to the field to see how the race was progressing and they were all amazed at what they saw.

ST Fox was hopping along - neck to neck with Basher. The only difference between the two was that ST looked as if he was having fun while Basher was already very tired at having to hop at such a quick pace.

With just a hundred meters to go, ST Fox increased the length of his jumps and easily made it past the finishing line ahead of Basher. He then turned to the kangaroo and said, "Well, I beat you fair and square... so now its time for you bullies to quit."


Basher was exhausted and Masher soon joined his brother at the spot where ST Fox was.
48l&r_8.gif (12248 bytes) "Please," said Basher. "Can we join YOUR gang instead?

"Ha! Ha!" replied ST Fox. "I don't have a gang...in fact, it would be better if you just stopped your bullying and be friends with everybody."

The Kanga Twins knew that they had met their match and agreed humbly to be good. Everyone on the field cheered loudly.

Everyone that is, except Billy, who quietly made his way back to class His bullying days were over. At least for the time being..
