The tortoise and the hare Hello friends, today we're going

00:05.960 --> 00:11.200
to hear a fun story about a very fast hare and a slow but steady tortoise.

00:11.200 --> 00:14.840
Listen carefully and think about what happens next.

00:14.840 --> 00:16.760
Let's begin.

00:16.760 --> 00:22.280
Once upon a time, there was a hare who loved to brag about how fast he could run.

00:22.280 --> 00:25.600
The other animals were tired of hearing him boast.

00:25.600 --> 00:31.080
One sunny day, a slow, quiet tortoise challenged the hare to a race.

00:31.080 --> 00:33.800
The hare laughed at the tortoise loudly.

00:33.800 --> 00:38.600
The animals in the forest gathered to watch the race.

00:38.600 --> 00:40.320
The race started.

00:40.320 --> 00:43.040
The hare ran as fast as he could.

00:43.040 --> 00:48.200
Very soon he was far, far ahead of the tortoise.

00:48.200 --> 00:52.200
After a while, the hare came to a big shady tree.

00:52.200 --> 00:56.160
He looked back again and could not see the tortoise anywhere.

00:56.160 --> 00:59.320
So he decided to take a nap.

00:59.320 --> 01:04.480
The hare lay down under the tree, closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

01:04.480 --> 01:07.520
He dreamed of all the animals cheering for him.

01:07.520 --> 01:11.920
Meanwhile, the tortoise kept walking slowly and steadily.

01:11.920 --> 01:18.000
Step by step, he moved forward without stopping or looking back.

01:18.000 --> 01:23.280
Let's help the tortoise trace your figure along an imaginary path to help him reach the

01:23.280 --> 01:24.280
finish line.

01:24.280 --> 01:25.280
Good job.

01:25.280 --> 01:30.720
Soon the finish line was in sight.

01:30.720 --> 01:32.720
The animals began to cheer.

01:32.720 --> 01:35.920
Suddenly, the hare woke up and looked around.

01:35.920 --> 01:38.320
He saw the tortoise near the finish line.

01:38.320 --> 01:43.400
Oh no, do you think the hare can still win?

01:43.400 --> 01:45.240
Yes or no?

01:45.240 --> 01:47.640
Let's find out.

01:47.640 --> 01:50.280
The hare ran as fast as he could.

01:50.280 --> 01:54.160
He raced towards the finish line, trying to catch up.

01:54.160 --> 01:55.840
But it was too late.

01:55.840 --> 02:00.320
The tortoise crossed the finish line before the hare could reach him.

02:00.320 --> 02:02.920
All the animals cheered for the tortoise.

02:02.920 --> 02:06.560
What do you think the tortoise felt when he won?

02:06.560 --> 02:09.080
Happy or surprised?

02:09.080 --> 02:13.280
Happy, that's right.

02:13.280 --> 02:15.680
The hare learned an important lesson.

02:15.680 --> 02:17.280
Slow and steady wins the race.
