One morning, Mr. Hare was running on the road. Suddenly he saw Mr. Tortoise, who was also running on the road towards him. Mr. Hare ran up to Mr. Tortoise and laughed at him. Mr. Tortoise got angry and wouldn't take failure lying down, so he suggested having a race to see who could first get to the big tall tree by the roadsides. Mr. Hare agreed with him without hesitation. The race began. Mr. Hare and Mr. Tortoise started from the same line at the same time. When Mr. Hare was far ahead of Mr. Tortoise and even couldn't see Mr. Tortoise, he thought that Mr. Tortoise fell behind and couldn't catch up with him. So he stopped and lay down to have a nap. But soon he fell asleep. At the same time, Mr. Tortoise kept on running and running.When Mr. Hare woke up, he found Mr. Tortoise had already sat under the tree and was smiling at him!
