The Rabbit and the Turtle
Once upon a time, there was a rabbit. He was very proud of himself because he could run very fast. He often laughed at other animals because they walked slowly. One day, the rabbit met a turtle. The turtle walked very, very slowly.
"Hey, Turtle! You are so slow!" said the rabbit, laughing.
The turtle felt angry but he stayed calm. "Why don't we have a race, Rabbit? Let's see who is faster," said the turtle.
The rabbit laughed even harder. "You? Race with me? That's funny! But okay, let's race."
The race began. The rabbit ran very fast and left the turtle far behind. The rabbit thought, "The turtle is so slow. I have plenty of time. I can take a nap." So the rabbit slept under a big tree.
Meanwhile, the turtle kept walking. He did not stop. He walked slowly but step by step, he got closer to the finish line.
When the rabbit woke up, he ran as fast as he could. But it was too late. The turtle had already crossed the finish line. The turtle won the race.
The rabbit felt very ashamed. He said, "I'm sorry, Turtle. I laughed at you. Now I understand that being fast is not everything."
The turtle smiled and said, "It's okay, Rabbit. Slow and steady wins the race."
Moral value: Don't underestimate others. Keep trying and never give up.
