A hare was very proud of her speed. One dayshe said to a tortoise "I pity you for your speed" . "How can you walk with such a heavy shell on your back?" " You need not not worry friend, hare", said the tortoise. "If you like I can run a race with you. " The hare sneered,  "What! do you want to run a race?  Very well, I am ready.  I accept your challenge". 

At once both of them started. In a moment the hare got  ahead of the tortoise. The tortoise was moving very slowly with his heavy ahell on his back. The hare atoped half way and looked way and looked back. " Ha! Ha!"  laughed the hare, "You are creeping on far behind.  Speed up, lest I will be half over the country before you reach the end of the battle,"

The tortoise said nothing. He toiled and toiled. "I may easily take a short nap and then overtake him," the hare said to herself. The tortoise was moving slowly with his little feet. He came creeping up the place, never stopping to look behind.

The hare awoke and looked forward to see the tortoise. She sprang up and attempted to start on like the wind. She said," Where is the tortoise?"

From the end of the field the tortoise replied," Hare, hare, I am winning the race.

                                  The End.
