The
Hare and the Tortoise
|
|
All
the animals gathered to watch the race.
At the signal Hare leaped forward in a great bound and soon
left the plodding Tortoise far behind.
Looking back, Hare could not even see the Tortoise after a
while.
|
In
the meantime,
Tortoise jogged steadily along on the hot dusty road. The Tortoise just would
not give
up. Soon he passed Hare who was sleeping peacefully.
Quietly
Tortoise plodded towards the finish line.
When Hare finally woke from his nap,
he only heard all the animals cheering the winner.
Boastful and careless, Hare lost the race. Now he would never be able to count on his speed again.
