The Tortoise and the Hare.

One sunny day, a hare was boasting to his friends of his great speed.

"I could run to the end of the world!" Said he. "I could beat anyone who dares challenge me."

"I challenge you!" Suddenly rose a voice from the dark bushes . A tortoise emerged, slowly stepping from the brush. The hare's eyes glinted angrily at the challenge, but instead of lashing out, a smile suddenly spread across his face.
" Dear friend." He murmured maliciously. "Why, of course i accept your challenge."

His friends cheered suddenly, and the sun slowly rolled behind a dark cloud...

The morning of the race was upon them. A storm had grown across the clear sky, and it threatened rain. When the location of the race had been decided, the hare and the tortoise were suddenly hunched at the starting line.

"Silly fool." Though the hare to himself. He suddenly imagined of how he would gloat. Suddenly, the cannon sounded, and they set off. The hare was out of sight in moments, and the tortoise merely plodded along. A look of grim determination was set on the tortoise's face. The rising sun began to melt the fog away, but dark clouds still dotted the sky.

The hare was many miles ahead, when he suddenly saw a crooked tree.

"What a good place to take a nap!" he said suddenly. "I will sleep for hours, and still beat that tortoise."

Suddenly hours had passed, and the tortoise was still making progress, though slowly. A thin layer of sweat lay across his face as he approached the tree where the hare was sleeping. Suddenly the tortoise could not help but chuckle.

Suddenly the hare was dreaming. He dreamed of himself charging across the finish line. He thought of looking down upon the stupid tortoise. Suddenly, his vision began to cloud, and a horrible feeling spread across him. He woke up, panting. He looked carefully around, but the tortoise was nowhere in sight. So, he leapt off gaily, humming to himself.

Suddenly the hare reached the finish line. He suddenly skidded across, and turned to wait for the tortoise, when a voice sounded suddenly behind him.

"Good game." The tortoise stood before him! How could it be! How could he have won! Red hot fury stormed in his mind as he watched his rival receive the trophy.

Suddenly the next day...
