The Tortoise and the Rabbit
One day, Tortoise is walking in the town.
Many people are listening to Rabbit.
He is smiling, Tortoise goes to listen to him.
"I'm faster than everybody", Rabbit says.
"No one can win a race against me".
Tortoise is very angry with Rabbit.
"Yes, you're fast", says Tortoise.
"But you can't win every time".
Rabbot laughts and laughts.
"Ha! Ha! Are you faster than me?", he asks.
"You cannot win, Rabbit", says Tortoise.
"Let's race", says Rabbit.
He laughs so much he falls down.
Early the next day, everybody is watching the race.
Rabbit and Tortoise can see the finishing line at the end of the town.
"Go!", says the Dog.
Tortoise and Rabbit start.
Rabbit stops and looks back at Tortoise.
"You are so slow. This is not a race. You will take all day to finish."
He laughs again.
Rabbit sees some lettuce.
"I'm hungry", he thinks.
He sits under a tree and eats a lot of lettuce.
He thinks, "When Tortoise gets near the finishing line, I will just walk in front and win".
Two hours later, he is still under the tree.
He sees Tortoise only half way to the finishing line. Rabbit laughs.
"You'll get there at night time", he syas.
Tortoise doesn't to listen.
He keeps on walking to the finishing line.
Rabbit watches Tortoise all day.
He gets tired sitting in the sun.
Soon he is sleeping. Rabbit wakes up. He looks for Tortoise.
Tortoise is very near the finishing line.
"Oh no!", he thinks.
Rabbit runs and runs and runs to the finishing line.
"I will win", he thinks.
Tortoise wins the race.
Everybody is happy with Tortoise.
Tortoise smiles at Rabbit and says,
"Slowly, slowly is the way.",
Rabbit is embarrassed.
