One day a hare looked at a tortoise and ......... the short feet of the tortoise.

He also made ......... of the slow pace at which the tortoise travelled.

The tortoise agreed that the hare ran as fast as the wind but claimed that he could easily ......... him in a race.

It was ......... that the tortoise should choose the course and also the end of the race.

The tortoise never stopped and continued walking at a......... pace all the time to the end of the race.

The hare shot ahead and then decided to......... down at the side of the path for a rest.

It wasn't long before the hare fell into a......... sleep.

When he woke up, he couldn't......... his eyes because there was the tortoise crossing the finishing line.

At the end of the race the tortoise,......... by all his hard work, was quietly slumbering on the line.

The moral of this fable is: slow but......... always wins the race in the end.
