The Tortoise and the Hare

　　The Hare was once boasting of his speed before other animals. "I have never 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 won," 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 the Tortoise said: "Slow but steady progress wins the race."

乌龟与兔子

　　从前有一只兔子，他在其它动物面前吹嘘自己跑得是如何如何的快。

　　“当我全速奔跑的时候，我从来没有被打败过，”他说，“谁敢跟我比一比?” “我来跟你跑一场”，一只乌龟沉着地说。

　　“快笑死我了，” 兔子说，“我一边跑一边围着你跳舞都能赢你”。 “你跑赢了再吹牛吧”，乌龟说，“我们可以开始比赛了吗?”

　　于是，他们确定了一条比赛路线和起点。比赛开始，兔子是嗖的一声就跑得没影了，但他很快就停了下来。 为了让乌龟知道他并没把乌龟放在眼里，兔子决定睡上一觉再接着跑。 这时，乌龟正一点一点艰难地向前爬着。 当兔子一觉醒来，发现乌龟离终点已经很近了，要追已经赶不上了。

　　这时，乌龟说：“踏踏实实、一步步前进，你就会赢得比赛”。
