The Hare and the Tortoise
 
   The Hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals.    "I have never yet been beaten," said he, "when I put forth 1 my full speed. I challenge any one here to race with me." 
   The Tortoise said quietly, "I accept your challenge."                           .  .   "  That is a good joke," said the Hare; "I could dance round you all the way." "Keep your boasting till you've beaten," answered the Tortoise. "Shall we race?"


   So a course was fixed 2 and a start was made. The Hare darted 3 almost out of sight at once, but soon stopped and, to show his contempt for the Tortoise, lay down to have a nap.


  The Tortoise plodded 4 on and plodded on, and when the Hare awoke from his nap, he saw the Tortoise just near the winning-post and could not run up in time to save the race. Then said the Tortoise:


  "Plodding 5 wins the race."
