The Lost-Object Relay Keeps Finding the Wrong Things

A fictional comedy from CyberBabiez. The characters and events are invented.

The relay required teams to locate a notebook, a ribbon, and a toy bus. Captain Bo's team returned with a calendar, a shoelace, and a train.

Close enough, he argued. Same general families.

The judges disagreed.

On the second attempt, the team found the correct ribbon but forgot what else they needed. They brought back an impressive leaf as a precaution.

Professor Duck wrote the list down. The team completed the task in one trip.

Bo admired the strategy but worried that carrying a list looked less athletic.

The duck pointed to the finish line.

The team accepted gold for Accuracy With a Small Piece of Paper.

The leaf received its own display stand because everyone liked it.

Not every good discovery had to be part of the original event.
