The Tortoise and the Hare (1)

The Tortoise and the Hare (1)

  There once was a fast-talking, fast-moving hare who used to tease his friend the tortoise about his slowness.

  The tortoise tried not to be bothered by the hare's taunts, but one day in front of all the other animals it got to be just too much, and in a fit of annoyance the tortoise said,
 " Let's settle this once and for all. Let's run a race and see who  wins. And if I do, no more of your jokes about how slow I am. "

   The hare laughed.
  " That's a joke, " he said.
  " I can run rings around you, and you know it. "

  " Never mind, " the tortoise answered.
  " Just stop boasting, and let's going with the race. "

  So a day was set for the great event, and all the animals crowded into bleachers to watch.

この物語は、お馴染みの「うさぎとかめ」ですが、古典童話そのままではなく、すごく古いディズニ―映画：Silly Symphonies 版のものです。
