 the turtle and the rabbit, a lesson about time management. Every day, the rabbit talks about how fast he can run. He thinks he is quicker than all the other animals. He also says that no one can beat him in a race, and no animals ever want to try. When the rabbit sees the turtle, he usually teases him about his short feet and slow speed. One day, however, the turtle surprises the rabbit. The turtle says to him, you are fast, but I can beat you in a race. The rabbit's friends say, everyone knows you cannot win, he is too fast. The rabbit laughs and then decides to race the turtle. He says, I can dance and play and still beat you to the finish line. The turtle answers him, yes, you are fast like the wind, but I can beat you, let's race. The race begins, and they both start to go as fast as they can. The rabbit runs quicker and disappears down the road. He thinks he has plenty of time, so he stops to talk with his friends. The turtle just walks along slow and steady. Soon, the rabbit is far ahead of the turtle again. It is a hot day, so the rabbit decides to rest for a few minutes. He thinks he has enough time to take a little nap in the shade. Slow and steady, the turtle keeps moving along down the road. He doesn't get distracted or stop to take a nap. He doesn't talk to his friends and he doesn't quit moving forward. When the rabbit finally wakes up, he wonders where the turtle is. He looks back down the road, but doesn't see him there. He thinks he is still winning the race. Then, the rabbit turns and looks at the finish line. The rabbit can't believe what he sees. The turtle is almost to the end of the race. The rabbit runs as fast as he can, but it is too late. The turtle slowly crosses the finish line and beats him in the race. The rabbit can't believe it, but all of the other animals yell, Hooray! The end. The moral of the story is, slow and steady wins the race.
