英语寓言故事-The Hare and the Tortoise
The Hare was once boasting of his speed before the other
animals.
"I have never yet been beaten," said he, "when I put
forth my full speed.
I challenge any one here to race with me."
The Tortoise said quietly, "I accept your challenge."
"That is a good joke," said the Hare; "I could dance round you
all the way."
"Keep your boasting till you\'ve beaten," answered the
Tortoise.
"Shall we race?"
So a course was fixed and a start was made.
The Hare darted
almost out of sight at once, but soon stopped and, to show his
contempt for the Tortoise, lay down to have a nap.
The Tortoise
plodded on and plodded on, and when the Hare awoke from his nap,
he saw the Tortoise just near the winning-post and could not run
up in time to save the race.
Then said the Tortoise:
"Plodding wins the race."
