THE TORTOISE' AND THE HARE (an Aesop' fable)

In a forest near a river there lived a hare who was very proud of himself. Most of all he liked to talk about the way he could run. Of course, the other hares did not like him and did not want to listen to him.

"I must not boast," he thought, "then my friends will talk to me again."

But he forgot all about his decision when he saw a tortoise. He looked at her short legs and cried, "Oh, I am so glad that I am not a tortoise!" The tortoise called out to him, "If you can run so fast, let's have a race."

The hare began to laugh, "Have a race with you? I can get to the finish and back before you cross the starting line."

The tortoise said, "Do you see that big tree over there? The finish will be at that tree."

The tortoise was very clever, and she wanted to teach the hare a lesson.

The hare ran off as fast as he could, and the tortoise started slowly after him. The hare ran very fast and soon he was not far from the tree. He thought, "I shall wait for the tortoise here and when she comes near, I shall run to the finish and be the first."

But the day was very hot, and he soon fell asleep. Some time later he woke. He looked around and saw that the tortoise was nearly at the finish. The other hares were watching her and laughing. The proud hare got up and ran as fast as he could, but the tortoise had already reached the tree. The other hares laughed and said to each other, "He boasted very much, but he couldn't win a race against a tortoise, who is one of the slowest animals in the forest."
