The Hare and the Tortoise

When the Hare taunts the slow Tortoise to himself, he just ignores the Hare.But when he taunts him in front of the all the forest animals, the Tortoise loses it and declares that if a race was held he could surely win against the Hare. So the animals set up a race for the tortoise and the Hare. BANG!!! The fox(appointed judge by the forest animals)sounds the horn and they take off.Who do you think will win? The Hare ,as usual, runs faster than wind itself, but the Tortoise goes as slow as he normally would.This story isn't about making fun or calling people names, but "no matter if you're fast, or tall, or even skiny you are.You're no better than those who are slow or short or over weight." For ages between 4-9.I hope you enjoy ths book.
