What he did was jump and admire himself. He loved to talk about how much faster he was than the other animals. I am the fastest animal in the forest. Would anyone like to run with me? He sure ran fast with his very big paws. The other animals. He hated the way he strutted around saying they never won a race. Yes, I win again. Why because I'm fast everywhere I went? He said I'm so fast that no one could pass me. His words had begun to disturb everyone. the other animals in the forest are fine, he might be the fastest, but the fact that he says and appears is not pleasant, so what should the lesson teach me to improve everything that was said among all the animals in the forest They managed to go to the turtle.

The turtle walked very slowly. It would take him a day to reach the distance that the rabbit could travel in one minute. The turtle wanted to meet the rabbit. One of these days he went to the other animals and told them that he would like to run with him. rabbit you want to raise it not even the fastest animals have won against a rabbit how can you leave that part to me? The turtle went next to the rabbit day Mr. Rabbit I have been looking for you with curiosity the rabbit asked and why could you be looking for me?

I heard that you are the fastest animal in the forest. Well, actually that's what you think, but just to be safe I'd like to race you, let's see who's faster as soon as the turtle has finished what he had. say the rabbit started laughing so loud that all the other animals in the forest heard it are you kidding me? It's impossible for you to pass me the moment you take a step I'd finish the race well unless we go up we'll never know Okay, let's be ready, then tomorrow morning it will be Rice When the tortoise began to walk away, the rabbit continued to laugh at the The next morning, the animals arrived at the racecourse, they noticed that the turtle was waiting at the starting line, ready to go, very sure of itself, the turtle was smiling. please tell me how are you going to beat the rabbit if he really is that proud and a big braggart like everyone says then this race won't be difficult at all soon after with his very cocky attitude holding on. a carrot the rabbit arrived at the racecourse let's run and finish this I haven't had breakfast yet finishing their last preparations they arrived at the starting point the first to line up the united forest gets wet with the mark of the mole the race began like an arrow the rabbit passed flying next to the turtle on the other hand he began to walk slowly whoa the rabbit was nowhere to be seen the animals that were watching the race thought that the turtle was going to be defeated after running for a while the rabbit stopped and there was a look behind There was nothing to see from the looks of it.

The turtle will finish the race tonight. I better sit down and finish my carrot. The rabbit finished eating his carrot. He looked towards the road and from afar saw the turtle coming with a cheeky smile. He got up and The rabbit continued running. He had almost reached the end point. I'm a little sleepy. After breakfast, I could sit under this tree and take a nap. As confident as he was in winning the race. The rabbit fell asleep. Turtle continued walking very, very slowly but with great confidence. Finally he arrived next to the rabbit, he saw that the rabbit was in a deep sleep without stopping, he continued on his way a while later, the rabbit woke up when he looked and couldn't see the turtle, the turtle is nowhere to be seen, maybe he doesn't want to run anymore.

I should finish my race now as the rabbit was slowly heading towards the end point what do you see the turtle had overtaken him, in fact he was about to? To finish the race, using all the energy he had left, he tried to pass the turtle but the turtle had already finished the race. Some of the animals waiting at the finish line were extremely happy. All of the animals were throwing the turtle into the air with great joy. emotion while the rabbits stood in the corner very sadly turtle the winner of the race walked towards the rabbit Mr. rabbit the important thing is to be consistent in everything you do to show off with nonsense and to love yourself is weakness I beat you not because I It was faster but I was wiser and I did what I did seriously you are right from now on I will stop bragging about being the fastest among everyone I should go back now my house is a long trip away the turtle smiled and continued on his way the rabbit He learned a good lesson and realized his mistake after that day.

He never boasted about himself or ran again.
