25 The Hare and the Tortoise
One day a hare was telling the other animals how fast he could run. "I can
beat anyone!"cried he. "Will one of you try a race with me?"
"I will,?said the tortoise.
"You!?laughed the hare. "Oh, oh, how funny!?
"Save your laughing for the end of the race,?said the tortoise.
So a starting line was made, and away they went. The hare ran fast and was
soon far ahead, so he sat down to rest. By the time the tortoise came up, the
hare was sleeping.
On and on went the tortoise, and when the hare looked up at last, it was too
late.
There sat the tortoise by the sign that said: The End.

他們劃了條起跑線，出發(fā)了。兔子跑得飛快，很快就跑到了前面，所以他坐下來(lái)休息。等到烏龜趕上來(lái)時(shí)，他睡著了。
烏龜一直往前走，當(dāng)兔子最后醒來(lái)時(shí)，已經(jīng)太晚了。 烏龜坐在一塊牌子旁，上面寫(xiě)著： 終點(diǎn)
