One day a hare was playing in the fields.The hare thought he was the fastest runner in the world.When he saw the tortoise was so slow he laughed at him and said，"Let's have a race and see who can get to the tree first.”The tortoise agreed and the race began.
We all know the hare ran much faster than the tortoise.Soon the tortoise was far behind the hare.
“That silly tortoise can never win.”the hare thought to himself. The sun was shining. It was so hot. The hare decided to have a rest. Before long he was fast asleep.
The tortoise didn't take a minute's rest. He walked on and on. He never stopped. At last he reached the tree.
When the hare woke up and ran to the tree, the tortoise was already there, waiting for the hare.
