The Minifigure and the Brick
In the olden times, LEGO people could speak English, just like you and me. There was a lovely enchanted forest that flourished with a bunch of these magical people. One day, a Minifig was relaxing by a tree. All of a sudden, he noticed a Brick sitting near him.

The Minifig, being magical and all, told the brick, "Um, hi." The brickcould speak English too.

"I challenge you to a race! Whoever makes it across the forest and back first wins a gigantic plate of ridiculously delicious homemade spaghetti! And a lifetime's supply of Ninjago sets!" The Minifig looked at the brick strangely, but agreed to the race.

The next day, the competition was coming into play. All the Minifigures in the forest (but not the bricks, for bricks are immobile) arranged a finish/start line in between two trees. A fellow Minifigure placed the brick in front of the starting line, and the Minifig was on his way.

Everyone on the sidelines was bustling about and chatting about the obvious prediction that the Minifig was going to claim the victory (and the spaghetti and the Ninjago sets). Suddenly, a blue Minifigure had a revolutionary realization.

"AAAAIEEH! Friends! I have an idea to share! The brick has not challenged our good companion, the Minifig, to just a simple race! Surely the brick must know that he CANNOT MOVE! He obviously has a trick up his sleeve!" exclaimed the blue Minifigure.

A Minifigure in red and blue spoke up.

"Bricks don't have sleeves."

"You fool! You know what I mean! I think that the brick knows we're cheering for the Minifig, so he is planning to pull a trick on us, so we look foolish when he wins! Let's sink the brick's intentions, and let's cheer for the stupid plastic thing!" the blue Minifigure passionately proclaimed. The other Minifigs cheered, and started chanting, "FOIL THE PLAN! FOIL THE PLAN! FOIL THE PLAN!"

A few minutes later, the Minifig arrived. He got into place next to the brick, who sat there contently. The Ninja Minifigure blew the tree-bark whistle, and the race began! The Minifig took off, sprinting through the forest, and the brick ... It sat there.

The Minifigures glanced at each other blankly, and then started to realize how dumb they were. The brick did not have a trick up its sleeve. It wanted an honest race — but it knew it couldn't walk (let alone run)!

About a few hours later, the Minifig came into sight again. It flew right across the finish line, still as fast as it was when it first took off. The Minifig had won, but the brick still sat at his starting point, and had not even budged.

The Minifigs donated the brick.
