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.
