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.
.
“Slow and steady, slow and steady…”
.
“I have plenty of time to rest,” thought the hare.
.
Hare’s sleep was getting deeper and deeper.
.
The tortoise was still going slow and steady.
“Up ahead,” he said, “What do I see?”
.
“And the winner is… the tortoise!”
.
“Three cheers for the tortoise!”
.
Slow and steady wins the race!
