NAME:

THE HARE AND THE TURTLE

ONE DAY, A TURTLE BEGAN TO TELL ADVANTAGE SAYING THAT IT RUNS TOO FAST, THAT THE HARE WAS TOO SMALL, AND WHILE TALKING, THE TURTLE LAUGHED AND LAUGHED AT THE HARE. BUT THE HARE WAS EVEN IMPRESSED WHEN THE TURTLE DECIDED TO BET A RACE WITH IT.

“MUST BE PLAYING ONLY!” THOUGHTS THE HARE.

THE FOX WAS THE JUDGE AND RECEIVED THE BETS. THE RACE BEGAN, AND AT THE SAME TIME, OF COURSE, THE HARE PASSED IN FRONT OF THE TURTLE. THE DAY WAS WARM, THAT'S why THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WAY THE HARE HAD THE IDEA OF PLAYING A LITTLE. AFTER PLAYING, HE DECIDED TO TAKE A NAP IN THE COOL SHADOW OF A TREE.

“IF THE TURTLE RUNS BY ME, I JUST RUN A LITTLE AND I'M IN FRONT AGAIN”, HE THOUGHT.

THE HARE THOUGHT THAT HE WON'T MISS THAT RACE ANYWAY. MEANWHILE, THERE CAME THE TURTLE ON HIS WAY, DRAGGING HIS FEET, ALWAYS AT THE SAME SPEED, WITHOUT RESTING ANY TIME, JUST THINKING OF THE ARRIVAL. WHY, THE HARE SLEPT SO MUCH THAT IT FORGOT TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE TURTLE. WHEN SHE WAKE UP, WHERE'S THE TURTLE? WELL THAT THE HARE GET UP AND WHISPERING, BUT IT WAS NO GOOD! FROM FAR SHE SEE THE TURTLE WAITING FOR HER AT THE FINISH LINE.
