The Hare and the Tortoise
Part 3
The race started. The
hare quickly raced into the lead. After a hundred
metres he stopped and looked back.
The tortoise was a long way behind. He was still only
five metres from the start.
'What a silly tortoise!' thought the hare. ‘He
could never beat me in a race.’
Sleep
It was a very hot day. The
hare felt tired. ‘I’ll rest here for a few
minutes,’ he thought. ‘The tortoise will
never catch me.’
The hare sat down beside the path. He closed his eyes.
Soon he was asleep.
