Once upon a time, there lived a ortoise and a hare. The hare always teased the tortoise. The tortoise didn't like the teasing, so he decided to have a race. On the day of the race, all of the animals came to watch. The hare hopped and the tortoise walked. So, the hare thought I could take a nap and still wake up in time to beat the tortoise. After a while, the hare woke up and he jumped up and hopped along the path. But it was no use. The tortoise crossed the finish line first.
