The Tortoise and the Hare
Vocabulary Words
Once upon a time there
was a hare who,
boasting how he could
run faster than anyone
else, was forever teasing
tortoise for its slowness.
Then one day, the irate
tortoise answered back:
“Who do you think you
are? There’s no denying
you’re swift, but even
you can be beaten!” The
hare squealed with
laughter.
“Beaten in a race? By whom?
Not you, surely! I bet there’s
nobody in the world that can
win against me, I’m so speedy.
Now, why don’t you try?”

Annoyed by such bragging,
the tortoise accepted the
challenge. A course was
planned, and the next day at
dawn they stood at the starting
line. The hare yawned sleepily
as the meek tortoise trudged
slowly off. When the hare saw
how painfully slow his rival
was, he decided, half asleep
on his feet, to have a quick
nap. “Take your time!” he said.
“I’ll have forty winks and catch
up with you in a minute.”
The hare woke with a start from
a fitful sleep and gazed round,
looking for the tortoise. But the
creature was only a short
distance away, having barely
covered a third of the course.
Breathing a sigh of relief, the
hare decided he might as well
have breakfast too, and off he
went to munch some cabbages
he had noticed in a nearby field.
But the heavy meal and the hot
sun made his eyelids droop.
With a careless glance at the
tortoise, now halfway along the
course, he decided to have
another snooze before flashing
past the winning post. And
smiling at the thought of the look
on the tortoise’s face when it
saw the hare speed by, he fell
fast asleep and was soon
snoring happily.
The sun started to sink, below
the horizon, and the tortoise,
who had been plodding towards
the winning post since morning,
was scarcely a yard from the
finish. At that very point, the hare
woke with a jolt. He could see
the tortoise a speck in the
distance and away he dashed.
He leapt and bounded at a great
rate, his tongue lolling, and
gasping for breath. Just a little
more and he’d be first at the
finish. But the hare’s last leap
was just too late, for the tortoise
had beaten him to the winning
post. Poor hare! Tired and in
disgrace, he slumped down
beside the tortoise who was
silently smiling at him.
“Slowly does it every time!” he
said.
