　　龟兔赛跑故事中文版：

兔子长了四条腿，一蹦一跳，跑得可快啦。

乌龟也长了四条腿，爬呀，爬呀，爬得真慢。

有一天，兔子碰见乌龟，看见乌龟爬得这么慢，就想戏弄戏弄他，于是笑眯眯地说：“乌龟，乌龟，咱们来赛跑，好吗？”乌龟知道兔子在开他玩笑，瞪着一双小眼睛，不理也不踩。兔子知道乌龟不敢跟他赛跑，乐得摆着耳朵直蹦跳，还编了一支山歌笑话他：

乌龟，乌龟，爬爬爬，一早出门采花；乌龟，乌龟，走走走，傍晚还在门口。

乌龟生气了，说：“兔子，兔子，你别神灵活现的，咱们就来赛跑！”

“什么？乌龟，你说什么？”

“咱们这就来赛跑。”

兔子一听，差点笑破了肚子：“乌龟，你真敢跟我赛跑？那好，咱们从这儿跑起，看谁先跑到那边山脚下的.一棵大树。预备！一，二，三……”兔子撒开腿就跑，跑得真快，一会儿就跑得很远了。他回头一看，乌龟才爬了一小段路呢，心想：乌龟敢跟兔子赛跑，真是天大的笑话！我呀，在这儿睡上一大觉，让他爬到这儿，不，让他爬到前面去吧，我三蹦二跳的就追上他了。

“啦啦啦，胜利准是我的嘛！”兔子把身子往地上一躺，合上眼皮，真的睡着了。再说乌龟，爬得也真慢，可是他一个劲儿地爬，爬呀，爬呀，爬，等他爬到兔子身边，已经筋疲力尽了。兔子还在睡觉，乌龟也想休息一会儿，可他知道兔子跑得比他快，只有坚持爬下去才有可能赢。于是，他不停地往前爬、爬、爬。离大树越来越近了，只差几十步了，十几步了，几步了………终于到了。

兔子呢？他还在睡觉呢！兔子醒来后往后一看，唉，乌龟怎么不见了？再往前一看，哎呀，不得了了！乌龟已经爬到大树底下了。兔子一看可急了，急忙赶上去可已经晚了，乌龟已经赢了。

兔子跑得快，乌龟跑得慢，为什么这次比赛乌龟反而赢了呢？

　　英文版：

In the forest, there is a fast rabbit. He likes to race other animals. He always wins. "I am very fast," he says. "I can win any race." One day, the rabbit sees a turtle. "You are so slow. I am faster than you," he says. "Do you want to race me?"

"Yes," says the turtle. "Ha, ha. It will be easy to win," laughs the rabbit. "You will lose. Your legs are too short."

"Tomorrow we will have a race," says the rabbit. All of the animals are excited. They want to see the race. "The turtle will lose. He is too slow," they all say.

The turtle gets up early in the morning. The race is today. There are many animals at the race. The turtle walks to the starting line. All the animals laugh at him.

The rabbit is waiting for the turtle. "I will win," laughs the rabbit. "I will try my best," says the turtle.

The race begins. All of the other animals are excited. "Go, go, go," they say. The rabbit runs very quickly. The turtle walks slowly.

The rabbit turns around. The turtle is walking so slowly. "Ha, ha, you will never win this race," the rabbit says. The turtle is slower than the rabbit. The rabbit laughs at the turtle.

Then the rabbit sees a tree. "The turtle is so slow. I will takea nap. I can still win the race," says the rabbit. He goes to sleep under the tree.

The turtle keeps walking. He is tired and his legs hurt. The rabbit is sleeping under a tree. The turtle quietly walks past the rabbit. He is very quiet because he doesnt want to wake up the rabbit.

"I can do it! I can do it!" says the turtle. "My legs are short and I am slow, but I can win this race." The turtle can see the finish line.

Suddenly, the rabbit wakes up. The turtle is far away. "He will win!" he says. The rabbit runs, but it is too late. The turtle wins the race.

"Yeah! You are the best," say the other animals. "You are great!" The turtle is happy. The rabbit feels sad. All of the animals now laugh at the rabbit.

"Ha, ha, ha," they laugh. "You say you are the best, but the slow turtle is the winner," they say. "He is the best! The turtle is great!"

"I am slow. I have short legs. I am not fast, but I did it!" says the turtle. The rabbit is quiet. He slowly walks home.
