The hare & the tortoise

The hare & the tortoiseThe Aesop’s fable - retold by Kindergarten, 2009

Once upon a time there was a hare and a

tortoise.

.

A hare looks like a rabbit with long ears. He can run

fast.

The tortoise likes wearing earphones to listen to

music.

“I’ll bet I can race you to the castle,” said the tortoise to

the hare.

• “Let’s do it!” said the hare.

The tortoise’s running song:

• The more you run, under the sun,

• The faster you get, to win the bet,

• I’m hot to trot!

• To the big stair - to beat the hare,

• Climb on up to win the cup!

The animals hung the starting banner on a

pole.

.

“Ready,

Set,

Go!”

“This will be easy,” said the hare.

.

And they’re off!

.

“Slow and steady, slow and steady…”

.

“I have plenty of time to rest,” thought the hare.

.

“A nice shady spot…”

.

.

.

Yawn…

.

.

Z z z z z…

Hare’s sleep was getting deeper and deeper.

.

The tortoise was still going slow and steady.

“Up ahead,” he said, “What do I see?”

.

The finish line!

.

Yay!Go

Tortoise!

Yay!

.

.

“And the winner is… the tortoise!”

.

“Puff, puff, puff…!”

.

“Three cheers for the tortoise!”

.

.

.

Slow and steady wins the race!
