She set a blue flag on a flat block.\n\n\"I will not slip and crash,\" said Jen.\n\nJen sat on the sled. But then a fat, black slug slid up. Plop! It sat on the tip of the sled.\n\n\"Oh no!\" said Jen. \"A slug is not fast.\"\nThe slug did not get off.\n\nJen had a new plan. Jen did push the sled a lot. They did not slip. The sled sped down! The black slug held on fast. They went past the blue flag.\n\nJen was so glad. \"We did it!\" said Jen.",
