The Tortoise and the Hare

Once upon a time, there lived a tortoise

and a hare.


The hare, who was very fast, always teased

the slow tortoise.

"Ha, ha, ha! Even a snail is faster than

you!" he said.


The tortoise did not like the teasing one bit.

Finally, he decided to do something about it.

"Let's have a race,

" he said.


The hare fell down laughing.

"OK, but you know I will win," he said.

"We will see," said the tortoise.


On the day of the big race, all of the animals

came to watch.

"On your mark, get set, go!" said the fox.


The hare hopped. Fast, fast, fast.

The tortoise walked. Slow, slow, slow.


The hare hopped. Fast, fast, fast.

The tortoise walked. Slow, slow, slow.


Soon the hare was way ahead of

the tortoise.


"Ha, ha, ha! I can take a nap and still wake

up in time to beat the tortoise," said the hare.


So he did. Snore, snore, snore.


But as the hare napped, the tortoise walked

Slow, slow, slow. And guess what? By and

by, the tortoise passed the hare!


After a while, the hare woke up.

"Oh, no! the tortoise is winning!" he yelled.

He jumped up and hopped along the path.


But it was no use. The tortoise crossed

the finish line first.


"The tortoise won! The tortoise won!"

all the animals cheered.


"How did you ever beat the hare?"

asked the horse.

The tortoise grinned, "The hare may be

fast, but slow and steady wins the race.”
