There once were two famous Kentucky racehorses, Will and Bill. From the start, Will and Bill were strong, fast, competitive racehorses.
One day, they were competing in a local race to determine which horses would make it to the Kentucky derby. Will and Bill were ready to go when the starting signal was given.
They ran and ran, but on the last lap, Bill pulled ahead. He was ahead by five, ten, fifteen, even twenty yards!
But as the finish line became nearer and nearer, Will began to catch up again. Twenty, fifteen, ten, then only five yards were between Will and Bill.
At the last second, Will stuck out his nose and one the race. Bill was upset, but still made it to the Kentucky Derby.
When the day of the Derby came, Will and Bill were both determined to win.
As the race began, Will and Bill were neck and neck. But, again, Bill began to pull ahead.
He was so confident that he was going to win, he didn't notice Will passing him to win the race. So, again, Will had defeated Bill by a landslide.
As the years went by, the outcomes of all the races would stay the same: Will winning and Bill losing.
One day, after Will and Bill had retired, Bill was in the barn looking at Will's trophy case, envying all the first place trophies. Bill sighed and looked over at his second place-filled case.
Will came in. "Jealous?" he asked.
Bill answered, "No. But I know I can beat you. Let's have one race around the barn."
Will agreed and the two, with the help of the other animals, set up a course.
"Take your marks!" Rob, the farmer's dog, shouted. "Get set! Go!"
Will and Bill sped off around the course, Bill slightly in the lead. He knew he could do it. He knew he could win.
As the final turn came around, he pushed himself to go faster and faster.
Only to find that again, he had lost to his brother by a nose.
Bill sank down in defeat.
"Geez, Will," Rob said. "Couldn't you let your brother win just this one race?"
Will stood quietly, then finally said, "Hey, Bill."
Bill looked up.
"Look! A talking dog!"
