In a peaceful and friendly forest, there lived various animals who lived in harmony and peace. However, there was one animal that always caused a commotion in the middle of the forest. That animal was the Rabbit who was famous for his fast steps and noisy voice when running around the forest every day. The Rabbit really liked to challenge other animals to a running race, and no one could beat him.
"Ah, you took so long, Fox! I got sleepy waiting for you!" exclaimed the Rabbit in a mocking tone.
Because he always won, the Rabbit became arrogant and felt that he was the greatest in the entire forest.
One day, the Rabbit gathered all the animals to make a big announcement.
"I will give a gold necklace to anyone who can beat me in a running race to the end of the lake!" he said confidently.
The Fox, Monkey, Ant, and other animals were reluctant to accept the challenge, until suddenly the calm Tortoise raised his voice, "I will accept your challenge, Rabbit." "Hahaha, I didn't think the slow Tortoise would dare to challenge the king of running in this forest!"
replied the Rabbit while laughing. "Okay, prepare yourself for tomorrow morning, Tortoise."
The next day, all the animals gathered to watch the match between the Rabbit and the Tortoise. As soon as the flag was raised to start the match, the Rabbit immediately sped off at full speed, leaving the Tortoise very far behind. However, the Tortoise remained focused and ran with enthusiasm even though his steps were slow. When he was almost at the finish line, the Rabbit felt too confident and decided to rest under a shady tree.
He waited for the Tortoise to come. However, a gentle breeze made him fall asleep. Meanwhile, the Tortoise continued to run patiently and determinedly. The cheers of the other animals finally woke the Rabbit from his sleep, but it was too late! When the Rabbit started running again, the Tortoise had already reached the finish line. The arrogant rabbit was finally defeated by the weak, now all his friends were focused on the Tortoise. They began to live in harmony and peace again. Thank you
I'm not amused!
