The Tortoise and the Hare

Once upon a time, in a sunny green forest, there lived a fast hare named Harry. Harry was very proud of his speed. He loved to boast about how quick he was. One day, he saw Terry the tortoise moving slowly and decided to challenge him to a race. Terry, who was quiet and wise, agreed to the race, although he didn’t boast or tease.

All the animals gathered to watch the race. The sun was shining bright, and everyone was excited. Harry, the hare, stretched his long legs and said, "This will be a piece of cake!" Terry, the tortoise, just smiled and nodded. The starting line was marked with leaves, and the animals cheered loudly. "Ready, set, go!" they shouted.

As soon as they started, Harry zoomed ahead. He was so fast that he soon left Terry far behind. Harry laughed as he looked back and saw Terry slowly plodding along. "I’m so fast! I can take a nap and still win!" he thought. So, he found a soft patch of grass and curled up for a little snooze.

Meanwhile, Terry kept moving slowly but steadily. He didn’t stop. He thought of all the friends cheering for him and kept going step by step. He knew that slow and steady would help him reach the finish line. As he moved carefully, he enjoyed the flowers and the chirping birds around him.
