While retrieving something from the "junk drawer" for his Mom, Franklin discovers a stopwatch. At first, he thinks it's a regular watch and wonders how the time can be "60 o'clock." Mr. Turtle shows him the use of it and Franklin eagerly tests it out, by timing how fast he can clean his room. Excited by this acquisition, he starts timing himself on all sorts of things. Then, Rabbit comes and Franklin shows him the stopwatch. Rabbit asks Franklin to time him. Franklin does and is shocked when Rabbit does the same thing he just did four times faster. When solving a puzzle at his house with Goose, Goose solves the puzzle in about thirty seconds. It takes Franklin about two minutes to do it and he got some of the puzzle wrong. He tries it with his best friend, Bear, but Bear seems to be faster at everything too. Finally, he tries jumping rope with Beaver, but Beaver does it ten seconds to do what it takes him nearly 30 seconds to do and he can't even complete it. Franklin's getting annoyed. He's a turtle and he can be slow, but he didn't think he was this slow. He doesn't need a stopwatch to time himself. He needs a sundial. Beaver asks Franklin if she can borrow the stopwatch and Franklin happily agrees. Then, one day, Franklin is walking with Bear when he hears his friends cheering someone on. It's Snail! He's about to cross the bridge at his fastest time ever: one hour and two minutes! Snail's so slow that there's no way he could beat anybody else. But he shaved twelve minutes off of his previous best time. Franklin didn't realize that it counted if you beat your own time. He decides to try running to his mailbox again, only this time, it'll be the fastest that he's ever done it.
