The Turtle and the Rabbit

A long time ago, a rabbit and a turtle had a race. The rabbit was very fast. The turtle was very slow.

The night before the race, the turtle went to sleep early. In the morning, he got up early. He started running at 8:00.

The rabbit didn’t worry about the race. He knew that he was faster than the turtle. The night before the race, he stayed up late at a party. He woke up late for the race. The race started at 8:00, but the rabbit didn’t start until 9:00.

Because the rabbit was so fast, he quickly passed the turtle. When he was far ahead, he stopped to talk to some friends. He was very busy talking. He didn’t see the turtle run past him.

The turtle ran and ran. But soon the rabbit ran past him again. Soon the rabbit was far ahead of the turtle. He thought that he had a lot of time so he stopped to eat a big lunch. After the rabbit ate, he had to run slowly. He felt very tired, so he stopped to sleep. While he was sleeping, the turtle passed him again.

When the rabbit woke up, he ran very fast. But it was too late. The turtle won the race.
