The Tortoise and the Rabbit




The rabbit was once boasting of his speed.  “I am the fastest animal in this forest. Who dare to race with me?”
A  Tortoise heard that and said “I accept your challenge.”

“Is it a joke,” said the rabbit; “You are so slow.”
“Keep your boasting till you’ve won,” answered the Tortoise. “Shall we race?”

So they finnaly had a race. The rabbit darted almost out of sight at once, but soon stopped and, to show his contempt for the Tortoise, lay down to have a nap.

The Tortoise plodded on and plodded on, and when the rabbit awoke from his nap, he saw the Tortoise just near the winning-post. The rabbit running to catch the tortoise, but he was late. The tortoise win.

Then the Tortoise said wisely: “Slow but steady progress wins the race.”

Kelinci itu pernah membanggakan kecepatannya. "Saya adalah hewan tercepat di hutan ini. Siapa yang berani balapan dengan saya? "

Kura-kura mendengarnya dan berkata, "Saya menerima tantangan Anda.
"Apakah itu lelucon," kata si kelinci; "Kamu sangat lambat."
 Teruslah membual sampai Anda menang," jawab si Kura-kura. "Haruskah kita berlomba?

Jadi mereka finnaly punya balapan. Kelinci itu melesat hampir tak terlihat sekaligus, tapi segera berhenti dan, untuk menunjukkan penghinaannya terhadap Tortoise, berbaringlah untuk tidur siang.

Kura-kura itu mondar-mandir dan beranjak naik, dan ketika si kelinci terbangun dari tidurnya, dia melihat kura-kura itu persis di dekat tiang kemenangan. Kelinci itu berlari menangkap kura-kura itu, tapi ia terlambat. Kura-kura itu menang. 
Kemudian si Kura-kura berkata dengan bijak, "lambat tetapi progress menang balapan"
