THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE

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.

Slow and steady wins the race.

龟兔赛跑

有一天，一只兔子嘲笑乌龟走路速度慢。“等等，”乌龟说，“我要跟你比赛，我打赌我能赢。”“啊，好啊！”兔子回答，他觉得这主意实在很可笑，“咱们比比看。”他们达成协议，由狐狸为他们设定比赛规则，担任裁判。比赛开始，龟兔两个同时出发，但是兔子很快就领先了，他觉得自己可以休息一下，于是便躺在路边睡着了。而乌龟却一直缓缓前行，及时到达了终点。等到兔子猛地惊醒，以最快的速度飞奔到终点，却发现乌龟早就赢得了比赛。

训诫：稳扎稳打，坚持不懈才能胜利。
