"The Tortoise and the Hare"
Once upon a time, there was a hare who was very proud of his speed. He
boasted to all the animals in the forest about how fast he could run and
challenged anyone to race against him. The tortoise, known for his slow
and steady nature, accepted the challenge, much to the amusement of
the other animals.
5. The race began, and the hare quickly darted ahead, leaving the
tortoise far behind. Confident in his speed, the hare decided to
take a nap under a tree, believing he could easily catch up later.
Meanwhile, the tortoise continued plodding along at his steady
pace, never wavering in his determination to reach the finish line.
Despite being slow, he kept moving forward, one step at a time.
6. When the hare woke up from his nap, he was shocked to see the
tortoise nearing the finish line. He sprinted as fast as he could,
but it was too late. The tortoise crossed the finish line first,
winning the race.
