– makes fun of tortoise – challenges him – referee selected – race starts – hare overconfident –
takes a nap – tortoise wins.
Once there lived a tortoise and a hare in a forest. They were good friends. The tortoise
was known for his slow speed. The hare was proud of his speed and he often made fun of the
tortoise’s slow speed.One day the tortoise challenged the hare to a race. The hare agreed and a
horse was selected as the referee. The race started and the overconfident hare ran fast and
attained a lead in the initial stage. The hare now felt like taking a short nap as he believed that
he could overtake the slow tortoise any time and reach the target. The hare slept. When the
hare woke up he realized that he had overslept.He began to run fast to overtake the tortoise
who slowly and steadily was reaching the target. The tortoise reached the target before the
hare could do so and won the race.

food but could not find anything to eat. Soon they spotted a loaf of bread on the road. Each of
them was greedy and wanted to eat the bigger portion of the bread leaving the smaller portion
to the other. They were arguing as to who should get the bigger share of the bread. A monkey
who was passing by was amused when he heard the two cats fighting with each other. He was
clever. He offered to help the cats solve their problem and the cats also agreed to it. He bit a
small portion of the bread and ate it. He then bit a portion of the larger portion to equalize it.
He kept on repeating this act till only a small portion was left behind. He ate that piece also
