Text I
This text is used during the A2 workshops.
- The Hare and the Tortoise
- The Hare one day ridiculed the short feet and slow pace of the Tortoise.
- The Tortoise replied:
- "Though you be swift as the wind, I will beat you in a race."
- The Hare believed her assertion to be simply impossible and assented to the proposal.
- They agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal.
- On the day appointed for the race the two started together.
- The Tortoise never for a moment stopped.
- She went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course.
- The Hare laid down by the wayside and took a nap under a tree.
- At last, he woke up and ran as fast as he could, but it was too late.
- The Tortoise had already won the race!
- Slow but steady progress wins the race.
