The noisy laughter of the Hare caught the attention “Why, Tortoise, I could have run a race in the time it took you to make that challenge! Ha, ha, ha!” And with that, the Hare was seized with laughter. “You? You challenge me to a race?” asked the Hare. “I am a very slow creature,” said the Tortoise, “but all the same, I would like to challenge you to a race.” Said the Tortoise, all the while slowly continuing along the path. “I just saw a snail slithering along faster than you!” “You know, Tortoise,” said the Hare mockingly, Hare, this is true,” replied the Tortoise. “Ha-hah! That I am, Tortoise!” snapped the Hare. “My goodness, you are moving quickly today.” No matter how the Hare might cross his path or try to trip him up, the Tortoise calmly continued his stroll, undisturbed by the Hare’s antics. Suddenly, bounding past him was the Hare! The Hare leapt this way and that, frantically running circles around the patient Tortoise.
