The hare and the Tortoise 野兔和乌龟（野兔和乌龟）

A Hare was one day making fun of a Tortoise for being so slow upon his feet. “Wait a bit,” said the Tortoise; “I’ll run a race with you, and I’ll wager that I win.” “Oh, well,” replied the Hare, who was much amused at the idea, “let’s try and see”; and it was soon agreed that the fox should set a course for them, and be the judge. When the time came both started off together, but the Hare was soon so far ahead that he thought he might as well have a rest: so down he lay and fell fast asleep. Meanwhile the Tortoise kept plodding on, and in time reached the goal. At last the Hare woke up with a start, and dashed on at his fastest, but only to find that the Tortoise had already won the race.

有一天，兔子嘲笑乌龟用脚爬得太慢了。“那又怎么了，”乌龟说，“总有一天我会和你赛跑，并且还能赢了你。”“噢，好吧，”兔子回答，认为乌龟的这个想法太搞笑了，“我们比比看”。他们很快便商定好了比赛的时间和地点，并且让狐狸来设定比赛过程，兼做裁判。比赛一开始，兔子很快就跑到了前面，他觉着自己应该休息一下，于是便躺在路旁睡着了。此时，乌龟正不停地朝前奔跑，并且最后还实现了自己的目标。兔子醒来后，用最快的速度猛劲向前跑，可是却发现乌龟已经取得了比赛胜利。
