The Hare And The Tortoise


Once upon a time there was a fine little fit Hare that was the fastest creature on the farm, well people called him SPEEDY,along with his 3 friends rat,badger and fox. At some point there was a tortoise too that had eaten lush grass slowly and kept on dozing off. But did you know that Hare only lost one race.


Well it all started on march when he took the silver medal,it only happened 1 time. Hare was looking at tortoise and called him cabbage head and Brussels sprout feet,so suddenly with  fright fox popped out of hedgerows.”Hey fox guess what I can beat everyone on this whole farm did you know that” Hare said “No I haven't but I have a challenge for you” fox said mischievously .


“OK give it to me I can take it, plus I am the fastest creature on this whole farm” hare said wanting to see what the challenge was. “Well I dare you to challenge tortoise in a race” fox said “Ha easy peasy I can just beat him just like that!! because of course he`s slow” the hare said while staring at the tortoise . “You think you know it all eh” hare said while stroking his fluffy ears.”Ok then If you win you, we get to do you favours” fox explained  “And if tortoise wins you guys have to be his slaves for a month”  foxy said to hare.


The next day badger said “ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET, GO!!”.Off with a great start hare was running as fast as he could so he had a little look back and there he was tortoise still flapping his arm and legs as he is running like a slow poke.As hare was not close to the finish line he had a nap under a nice shady tree with fruit on it.Hare woke up and he saw that  the sun was going down so he got up and dashed to the finish line and he got there,but the tortoise has already won. And that's all for today.


MORAL OF THE STORY: Slow and Steady always WINS the race.
