Perusina, Perusino, Tupac and the crazy race of the Inca llamas

"Here we are!" Perusino shouted. "But... how do we get a llama to walk with us?"

"Look!" Tupac said, pointing to a woman with a llama trying to chew on a bale of hay with all its might while the woman desperately held it by a rope. "I think we need more than just ropes and orders."

The woman saw the children and laughed. "So you want to take part in the race? Then you'd better get to know your llamas - every llama is different. Some run when they see carrots, others when they have someone behind them singing loudly!"

“Sing?” asked Perusina, giggling. “That will be fun!”

Each of the three friends got their own llama. Perusina got a tiny, fluffy llama called Wuschel who kept shaking his head. Perusino got a llama called Turbo who didn't look like he wanted to run at all - he just lay down. And Tupac got a huge llama called Thunder who immediately started jumping around like crazy.

"Um, I think we need to practice..." Tupac said cautiously, trying to calm Donner down.

The crazy race begins

When the starting gun was fired, all the llamas were ready - well, almost all of them. The drums sounded and the crowd cheered loudly as the llamas set off. But after the first few steps it was clear: this race was not going to be easy.

Wuschel, Perusina's llama, was faster than expected - but he had his own way of running. Instead of running straight ahead, he made wild zigzag movements. "Where are you going?" Perusina called out, laughing, as she clung to Wuschel's side. "Straight ahead, Wuschel, straight ahead!"

Perusino had a different problem. Turbo, the laziest llama in the world, just wouldn't get up. Perusino tried everything - from singing to dancing. Nothing worked until he finally had an idea: "What if I show you a carrot?" He held up a carrot and suddenly Turbo jumped up and shot off like lightning! "That was close!" Perusino exclaimed in surprise as Turbo shot across the track with carrot power.

Things weren't looking any better for Tupac. His llama, Thunder, was jumping so wildly that it looked more like a crazy dance than a run. "Stay calm!" Tupac shouted, clinging to the shaggy neck. "We just need to go forward, not up!"

The Obstacles of the Race

But the race wasn't just a race - there were also obstacles! Suddenly they found themselves in front of a large mud hole in the middle of the track.

"Uh-oh," said Perusina as she saw other llamas and their riders slipping and getting stuck in the mud. "Wuschel, we have to jump over it!"

But Wuschel had other plans. Instead of jumping, he made a quick turn and ran in a wide arc around the mud hole. "That was... clever!" Perusina shouted and clapped her hands.

Turbo, Perusino's carrot-loving llama, ran straight towards the mud hole. "No, Turbo, no!" Perusino cried out in despair. But Turbo made a huge leap and actually jumped over the whole hole! "Wow, I didn't know you could do that!" Perusino said excitedly.

Tupac and Donner weren't so skilled. Donner was determined to jump through the mud, and when he did, all the mud flew into the air - and landed right on Tupac. "Aaaah!" Tupac screamed, laughing at the same time. "Now I'm a mud monster!"

The grand finale

After surviving the mud hole, they came to the finish line. The crowd cheered and the llamas gave it their all once again. Perusina giggled as Wuschel suddenly sprinted to the finish, and Perusino held on to Turbo as he headed for the last carrot they had set up at the finish.

But in the end, it was Tupac who pulled off the wildest final sprint with Donner. Donner jumped like crazy, throwing mud around, and shot across the finish line while Tupac nearly fell off his llama laughing.

“We did it!” Tupac shouted as they reached their destination.

“That was the craziest race ever!” laughed Perusina, who also crossed the finish line.

“And I think Turbo has really fallen in love with carrots,” said Perusino with a grin as Turbo devoured his reward.

The prize for the best llama riders

When the race was over, all three friends stood proudly on the podium. They may not have won the fastest race, but they had experienced the funniest and craziest adventures with their llamas.

“You may not have come first,” said the announcer, laughing, “but you get the prize for the funniest race!”

The crowd cheered and Perusina, Perusino and Tupac proudly accepted their prizes: each received a large bag full of carrots and a golden llama badge.

“I will never forget how we rode that crazy race,” said Perusino with a smile.

“And the best part is: our llamas are the real heroes!” Tupac added.

The friends laughed and enjoyed their crazy, muddy day, knowing that they would soon have another adventure - but this time, maybe without wild jumping llamas!
