SCRIPT:

Narrator: One day a hare was making fun at the tortoise.



Hare: Ha, ha, ha!  Your feet are so small and you walk so slow that you take too long to get to a place.



Tortoise: You may be as faster as the wind, but I will beat you in a race.



Hare: That is simply impossible. Ha, ha, ha!  But, I agree, let`s have a race.



Tortoise: Very well then.  The fox will choose the way and will wait for us  at the winning post.






Fox: Very good!  I will be waiting for both of you.  Let`s see who wins!



Narrator: On the day of the race the two started the race together.





Fox: 1, 2, 3, Go!



Tortoise: I will not stop walking.  I will keep walking slow but at a steady pace straight to the end of the finish line.



Hare: Oh well.  That tortoise walks so slow that I have time to take a nap.  zzzzzzzzzz



Narrator: When the hare woke up.



Hare: Oh I fell asleep.  I have to run as fast as I can.  I think I wasted some time.



Narrator: Then he saw the Tortoise had reached the winning post.



Hare: How did you do it?  This is impossible!



Tortoise: While you slept, I kept walking.   I may seem slow, but I am constant and patient, so I won the race.



Hare: You`re right Tortoise,  Being fast doesn`t mean that you will win.  I learned my lesson!
