Fast and Slow Fast and Slow
Once there were two robots. The first robot
was named Zippy, and he liked to do things
as quickly as possible. Zippy said, “Speedy
things like rockets and racing cars inspire me.
They make me want to go faster.”
The second robot was named Rusty. She
was slow like a rusty old bicycle. Rusty said,
“Slow-moving things like tortoises inspire me.
They are leisurely, steady, and careful!”
Zippy and Rusty worked together in a
gadget factory helping to manufacture gadgets.
They both liked to make gadgets, but they
had very different ways of working.
Zippy always worked at lightning speed.
Showers of sparks flew from his body, and
clouds of steam swirled around his head.
He was the fastest robot in the factory,
and all the other robots admired his speed
and enthusiasm.

Well, not all the robots wanted to be like
Zippy. No steam had ever swirled around
Rusty’s head, and no sparks had ever flown
off her body.
But Rusty didn’t mind at all—she liked
herself just the way she was.

Zippy was always boasting and bragging
about his battery pack, which was the
latest and greatest in the robot world. As
he worked, he listed the battery pack’s
specifications.
“My batteries are so powerful that they
could make a toy car race for 9,999 hours,”
he said.
“How fantastic!” cried the other robots.
“We wish we had batteries like yours.”
Rusty rolled her eyes. She had heard it all
before, so she grabbed her snack box and
went outside for a break.

Rusty sat down on a lawn chair in the
sunshine. She could see all the other robots
looking at her, and she knew that they were
feeling sorry for her. You see, Rusty’s battery
pack had its own unique specifications—it had
solar panels.
Rusty was the only solar-powered robot in
the factory. Every day at 10 o’clock, 12 o’clock,
and 2 o’clock, Rusty had to stop work and
sit in the sun. The other robots thought that
Rusty must have felt terrible because she had
to stop doing what robots like to do—work.
But Rusty smiled as she relaxed in the
sunshine—she couldn’t have been happier.
The other robots did not know what they
were missing out on.

“Rusting rivets!” cried Zippy. “How will we
make enough gadgets today if Rusty rests and
relaxes all the time?”
Just then, Rusty returned. Her solar panels
were charged up, and she was ready to work.
“What did you say?” asked Rusty.
“I said that we won’t make enough gadgets
if you are always relaxing,” said Zippy.
“But slow and steady wins the race,”
explained Rusty.
“Race?” said Zippy. “Ha! I don’t believe you
could win a race. You are far too slow, and
you take too many breaks.”
Rusty looked at Zippy. She thought it was
time that she educated him about other ways
of getting a job done.
“We’ll see about that,” she said. “I’m
challenging you to a race. The first robot to
manufacture 9,999 gadgets is the winner.
Zippy smiled so enthusiastically that
sparks flew out of his mouth. “I accept the
challenge!” he cried.

Chapter 2
Race or Rest? Race or Rest?
The next day, Rusty and Zippy were ready
at their workbenches. The robot boss stood
back and started the race by counting, “Three,
two, one, GO!”
Zippy was on top of things immediately
because his batteries powered him to
maximum speed in two milliseconds. At the
beginning, he made one gadget every three
minutes. He improved his time with every
gadget that he made and soon he was making
one gadget every minute. He ached all over,
but he kept on racing.

Rusty started the race very differently. First
she tidied her workbench, carefully arranging
her tools in rows. Then, when everything was
perfectly placed, she started making her first
gadget. By then, she trailed Zippy by five
minutes.
An hour later, Rusty stopped. She put
down her tools and lined up the gadgets
she had created.
She made no effort to build any more
gadgets. Instead, she powered down her solar
battery pack and went outside for a break.

Rusty relaxed in her chair, enjoying the
feeling of the warm sun on her solar panels.
When she was younger, she always felt terrible
about taking a break while her robot friends
kept working. But as the years went by, Rusty
began to enjoy her time in the sun. She could
read the latest Mighty Machines magazine,
study up on the most recent gadgets and
gizmos, or just watch the butterflies flutter
and flap slowly through the air.
Charging up solar panels was a very slow
process. Rusty was never impatient, though.
She never rushed anything.

“Brilliant bolts!” cried Zippy. “I’ll definitely
win the race now. Look at slow old Rusty, still
lazing lackadaisically in the sun.”
While Rusty rested, Zippy made hundreds
of gadgets. He felt very satisfied with the
way the race was going. He had made 6,475
gadgets. That meant he was ahead of Rusty
by a staggering 2,468 gadgets. All the other
robots cheered Zippy along.

Robot Power Robot Power
Suddenly, Zippy felt that something was
terribly wrong. His body was working slower
and slower. Then it stopped altogether. Zippy
couldn’t move a finger or even a rivet.
The robot boss opened up Zippy’s
control panels.
“Ah,” he said. “I know what the problem is.
The faster you work, the quicker you use up
your battery power. You have worked so fast
that your batteries have died!”
Zippy was devastated by the discovery, so
his boss tried to make him feel better. “I’ll
plug you into my charger, and your batteries
can charge overnight.”
If Zippy could have cried, he would have!
But it took battery power to do that.
At that moment, Rusty came back inside.
She had soaked up lots of sunshine.

Now her energy would release slowly
so that she could keep working all night
long. And that is exactly what she did. She
manufactured gadget after gadget after
gadget, working slowly but steadily all night.
All that poor Zippy could do was watch—and
wait. But by morning, Rusty had completed
9,999 gadgets and had won the race!
Zippy did not smile or clap or cheer. In
fact, his batteries were still charging.

These days, Zippy doesn’t work so fast. He
knows he has to save his battery power. But
now he has plenty of time to concentrate on
other things. As he makes his gadgets, he
sometimes stops to stare out the window. He
watches the flowers slowly open their pretty
petals and the snails slowly slide along. Zippy
enjoys the slower things in life—but only when
the other robots are not watching.
Rusty learned something from Zippy as well.
She discovered that if you finished your tasks
more quickly, then your breaks seem to come
around faster, too.
From time to time, Rusty and Zippy still
challenge each other to a race. Zippy has
learned to go more slowly so that his batteries
don’t die during the race. But Zippy can’t help
himself. He soon speeds up, so Rusty ends up
winning. Unless, of course, it is a cloudy day!

Compare TextRead a fable about a fast and a slow animal.
Long ago, there was an extraordinarily fast
hare and an incredibly slow tortoise. Hare
teased Tortoise about how slowly he moved.
“My legs are long and muscular,” said Hare.
“Your legs are extremely short and stumpy,
so it’s not surprising you walk so slowly.”
“My legs are perfectly suited to getting me
where I want to go,” replied Tortoise calmly.
“Yes, but they could
never help you to win
a race against me!”
exclaimed Hare.
Tortoise decided that
it was time he proved
Hare wrong. “I’ll race
you to the other side
of the woods,” said Tortoise.

Hare hopped about, laughing delightedly.
“All right,” he said, making a start line out
of twigs.
A crowd gathered to watch the race.
“Ready, set, GO!” shouted Deer.
As Tortoise lifted one front leg slowly and
carefully over the start line, Hare was already
dashing around the first corner, out of sight.
A while later, Hare looked over his shoulder
to check on Tortoise’s position. But Tortoise
was nowhere to be seen.
“Tortoise will take forever,” said Hare.
“I think I’ll lie down and relax in the sun.”
Slowly and steadily, Tortoise kept plodding
on. An hour later, he passed Hare, who had
fallen soundly asleep.
“Poor Hare,” said Tortoise. “All that racing
must have made him tired.”

Hare slept until the noise of the crowd
cheering finally woke him. He jumped up and
sprinted toward the old oak tree, but by the
time he arrived, Tortoise had already stepped
s-l-o-w-l-y across the finish line.
Tortoise then turned around, smiled at Hare,
and said, “Slow is the way to go!”
The moral of the story is that speed
is not everything—there are other ways of
being successful.

Fables Fables are written to teach an important idea. Fables often use animals that can talk. The animals in a fable teach a human or another animal something important.
Read and Find In Robot Race, the author uses robots instead of animals. The Hare and the Tortoise is a fable with animal characters. What is the lesson in both of these stories?
Your Turn
Plan a short story that uses a talking animal (or other non-human character) to teach a lesson. Make a story map to outline the characters, the setting, and the plot. Write a short description of each main character. Write a first draft of your story. Remember to use dialogue between the characters. Write a short “moral” or message to show what the story can teach the reader.
