Sweat drips. Knees burn. Legs buckle.
Polly is halfway up the hill in the big 10K today. She's not sure she can finish. She hears a THUD THUD behind her. Betty Bear the polar bear is about to pass her.
"Poor roly poly," Betty sneers. "You're strolling too slowly." As she rushes ahead, Betty loosens a stone that comes rolling right back at little Polly.
Polly curls up into a safe little ball.
I'm safe here, she thinks. Maybe I should be done. Racing with polar bears isn't much fun.

Come on, Polly, rock 'n' unroll

Synopsis
Polly B. Roly isn't like the other roly polies. She's a racer. And she's been training for today's race, the Over-the-hill and Leg-burner 10K.
But all of the other racers are bigger and faster, and they're not afraid to make fun of her as they pass her on the way up the big hill.
As a roly poly, Polly has a simple solution: curl up into a ball.
But Polly has worked too hard for this. She has to keep going, no matter the physical toll or bullishness of her fellow racers.
She can't roll into a ball and give up.
It's time to rock 'n' unroll.
