The hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. "I have never been beaten," he said, "when I run at full speed, no one is faster than me."

The tortoise said quietly, "I will race with you." "That is a good joke," said the hare. "I could dance around you the whole way."

The race started. The hare darted almost out of sight at once. He soon stopped and lay down to have a nap.

The tortoise plodded on and on. When the hare awoke from his nap, he saw the tortoise was near the finish line, and that he had lost the race.

参考译文：

龟兔赛跑

兔子向动物们夸奖他的速度，“我素来不失败过，” 他说，“当我奔驰时，没有人比我更快。”

乌龟安静地说：“我要与你竞赛。”“真是笑话，我能够边玩边跟你赛跑。”兔子说。

比赛开端了，一眨眼功夫，兔子已经跑得不见了踪迹，然而他感到本人跑得快，对照赛漫不经心，躺在路边睡着了。

乌龟慢腾腾地却连续不停地走，当兔子一觉悟来，他看到乌龟已经快到终点线了。兔子输了比赛。

寄意：骄兵必败；只有坚持不懈，才干实现目的。
