Ages 3–7 · 6 pages · Lesson: Keep going🐇
A hare laughed at a tortoise. “You are so slow! I can beat you in any race.”
🐢
“Let’s race, then,” said the tortoise quietly.
🏁
Ready, steady, go! The hare ran far ahead in seconds.
😴
“I have lots of time,” thought the hare. He lay under a tree and fell asleep.
🐢
The tortoise walked and walked. Step, step, step. He did not stop.
🏆
When the hare woke up, the tortoise was crossing the finish line. The tortoise won!
