　　The hare and the tortoise The hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals."I have never been beaten,"he said,"when I run at full speed,no one is faster than me."The tortoise said quietly,"I will race with you.""That is a good joke,"said the hare."I could dance around you the whole way."The race started.The hare darted almost out of sight at once.He soon stopped and lay down to have a nap.The tortoise plodded on and on.When the hare awoke from his nap,he saw the tortoise was near the finish line,and that he had lost the race.

　　兔子向动物们夸耀他的速度，“我从来没有失败过，”他说，“当我奔跑时，没有人比我更快。”乌龟平静地说:“我要与你比赛。”“真是笑话，我可以边玩边和你赛跑。”兔子说。比赛开始了，一眨眼工夫，兔子已经跑得不见了踪影，但是他觉得自己跑得快，对比赛掉以轻心，躺在路边睡着了。乌龟慢腾腾地却持续不停地走，当兔子一觉醒来，他看到乌龟已经快到终点线了。兔子输了比赛。
