One day, after lunch, Kanata and his friends go outside to play.
“Let’s play soccer,” says Kanata.
“Good idea,” say his friends, and they play soccer.
“This is fun! . . . What are we going to do next?” asks Kanata.
“How about riding unicycles?” says Yui.
“Sounds good.”

“Look. I can ride a unicycle! Come on, Daniel!”
“Oh, no,” says Daniel. “I can’t ride a unicycle . . . Can you ride a unicycle?”
“Yes, I can,” says Yui.
“No, I can’t,” says Saki sadly.
Daniel and Saki see their friends enjoy riding their unicycles.
“Oh, I wish I could ride a unicycle too!”

The next day, Kanata and Daniel visit Magic Land.
Their fourth task is to win the multicycle race.
“The multicycle race . . .” says Daniel. “What’s that?”
“It’s a relay race,” says the wizard.
“We need a team of three: you two and Mr. Clown. He’s waiting for you at the starting point.”

At the starting point, the boys meet Mr. Clown. He is very tall.
“Who’s going first? And who’s going last?”
“Let’s play rock-paper-scissors,” says Daniel.
“Good idea,” says Mr. Clown. “The winner goes last. Okay?”
“Rock, paper, scissors, go!”
Kanata and Mr. Clown throw scissors. Daniel throws rock.
“You win. So, you’re going to be last, Daniel.”
“Okay.”

“Yes, I can.”
Kanata starts off. He is very fast.

“Oh, no!”
“Can you ride a unicycle?” asks Mr. Clown.
“No, I can’t,” says Daniel sadly. “I can’t ride a unicycle. We can’t win.”
“Don’t give up, Daniel,” says Mr. Clown. “You can do it!”
“Yes, you can do it!” says Kanata.
“All right. I’ll try!”
