Synopsis

During a trail bike race with her friend Zach, Annie is left in the dirt, and she becomes discouraged. She rests up at Plato's Peak, just enough time to hear the story of "The Tortoise and the Hare," which teaches her a valuable perseverance lesson: slow and steady wins the race. Bolstered, Annie hops back on her bike, and she beats Zach, who has been wasting his time along the bike trail.
