背诵为王第一册第25课：The Hare and the Tortoise “兔子和乌龟 ”
One day a hare was telling the other animals how fast he could run. 'I can beat any one!' cried he. 'Will one of you try a race with me?' 'I will,' said the tortoise. 'You?' laughed the hare. 'Oh, oh, how funny!' 'Save your laughing for the end of the race,' said the tortoise. So a starting line was made, and away they went. The hare ran fast and was soon far ahead, so he sat down to rest. By the time the tortoise came up, the hare was sleeping. On and on went the tortoise, and when the hare looked up at last, it was too late. There sat the tortoise by the sign that said: The End.
一天，兔子正在向其他动物炫耀他能跑得很快。“我能跑过任何人。”他喊道。“你们有谁想和我比一比吗？” “我。”乌龟说。 “你！”兔子笑道，“哦，哦，太滑稽了！” “留着到比赛结束后笑吧。”乌龟说。 他们划了条起跑线，出发了。兔子跑得飞快，很快就跑到了前面，所以他坐下来休息。等到乌龟赶上来时，他睡着了。 乌龟一直往前走，当兔子最后醒来时，已经太晚了。 乌龟坐在一块牌子旁，上面写着： 终点。
