The Fox and the Crayfish

The Fox and the Crayfish stand together and talk between themselves. The Fox says to the Crayfish: "Let's race each other." The Crayfish says: "Alright, Fox, let's do it!"

They started racing. As soon as the Fox ran off, the Crayfish latched onto the Fox's tail. The Fox reached the spot, but the Crayfish didn't let go. The Fox turned around to look, flicked her tail, the Crayfish unlatched and says: "And I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
