Tepuk tangan penonton kian menggema, memberi semangat kepada kancil. Setelah lari sekian kilometer, berhentilah kancil. Sambil napas terengah-engah dia memanggil. Kancil : Siput ! seru kancil. Siput : Ya, aku disini. Karena siput telah berada didepannya, kancilpun kembali lari sangat cepat sampai tidak ada lagi tenaga yang tersisa. Kemudia dia pun memanggil. Kancil : Siput ! teriak kancil lagi. Siput : Ya, aku disini. Berkali-kali selalu begitu. Sampai pada akhirnya kancil lunglai dan tak dapat berlari lagi. Menyerahlah sang kancil dan mengakui kekalahannya. Penonton terbengong-bengong. Siput menyambut kemenangan itu dengan senyuman saja. Tidak ada loncatan kegirangan seperti pada umumnya pemenang lomba.
