龟兔赛跑

 

       乌龟与兔为他们俩谁跑得快而争论不休。于是，他们定好了比赛的时间和
地点。比赛一开始，兔觉得自己是天生的飞毛腿，跑得快，对比赛掉以轻心，躺在路旁睡着了。乌龟深知自己走得慢，毫不气馁，不停地朝前奔跑。结果，乌龟超过了睡熟了的兔子，夺得了胜利的奖品。
 
 
                                      
                        The Hare and the Tortoise 

A HARE one day ridiculed the short feet and slow pace of the Tortoise, who replied,

laughing: “Though you be swift as the wind, I will beat you in a race.” The Hare,

believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed

that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race

the two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a

slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by the

wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the

Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue. Slow but

steady wins the race.
