The Rabbit And The Turtle
One day, a turtle was climbing when a rabbit saw it. “ Hi~ turtle,what are you doing?” “ I’m running.” The turtle answered. “ Haha, you are running? How slowly! Let’s have a race to see who runs faster.” The rabbit laughed at the turtle. “ Ok. I believe I will beat you.” The turtle said confidently.
The following day was a sunny day. The turtle and the rabbit were ready for a competition. Many animals had come to watch them. “ Three, Two, One, Start!” monkey said. The rabbit and the turtle immediately began to run towards the end. The rabbit ran very fast. Meanwhile the turtle was climbing with a slow but steady pace. Obviously, the turtle was behind the rabbit. After a while, the rabbit ran to a tree. It saw the turtle was far behind and it thought : “ The turtle was so slow. I can sleep under the tree for a moment.” So the rabbit found a comfortable place , lay down and fell fast asleep.
A few minutes later, the turtle climbed to the tree. It saw the rabbit was sleeping and didn’t stop. In the end the turtle got to the end first while the rabbit just woke up. So foolish was the rabbit that it thought the turtle was still behind. When the rabbit arrived at the end eventually, the turtle was laughing there. “ Haha, I win.” The turtle said happily. The rabbit was very said and burst into crying instantly.
