The turtle was not very happy about what he had just heard from the hare, and he eventually decided to prove to him that it was his duty to be the fastest runner of the jungle. “How about this, you and I have a race;” said the turtle suddenly, the hare laughed aloud again, “Oh turtle, turtle; please don’t tell me that you are not going to give up!” “I am not, I have the heart inside my body, and I do not believe that I couldn’t be the fastest runner in the jungle!” the hare then finally agreed to race with him.
When the time arrived, the turtle got ready; when the sound began to blow, the turtle walked along slowly. While the hare in the other case hopped about happily. “Does he really think that he could beat me?!” shouted the hare, “That would be a dream in his brain;” said the hare again. When he was almost at the finish line, the hare said to him, “I shall take a rest, then when I get up the turtle would still behind my tail; and I cross the finish line, using my rest energy;” saying that, the hare lay down asleep. The turtle still didn’t give up; he soon found the hare, and crossed him quietly, when he reached the finish line, he cried out loud; when the hare woke up, found the turtle still wasn’t in front of him.
He hopped about happily, and when he reached the line, he found the turtle already resting on a rock. The hare was so shocked that he lay down on the grass just like that he fainted. And so the turtle became the champion; nobody ever laughed at him ever again, and whenever some animals wanted to learn running, they did not go to ask the hare; since he was not yet the fastest any more, instead they went to the turtle to get advice from their new jungle running lesson teacher.
