The Hare and the Tortoise
Part
2
'We'll have a race,' said
the tortoise. ''From one end of the wood to the other
end.'
Again the hare laughed
loudly. 'That will take me an hour,' said the hare.
'But it will take you a year!'
Slower
That afternoon all the animals came to watch the race.
Some went to the starting line. Some waited at the
finishing line.
They all wanted the tortoise to win. ‘He’s
much nicer than the hare!’ said the squirrel to
the badger.
‘I hope he wins, too,’ said the badger.
‘But a tortoise is much slower than a
hare.’
