3年級簡單的英語故事：龜兔賽跑

    “龜兔賽跑”的故事各位小朋友一定都聽過，聽說英語版的“龜兔賽跑”更有趣哦。今天和Hellokid小編一起來看看英語版自大的兔子和誠懇謙虛默默努力的烏龜。

      There once was a speedy Hare who bragged about how fast he could run. Tired of hearing him boast, the Tortoise challenged him to a race. All the animals in the forest gathered to watch.

      The Hare ran down the road for a while and then and paused to rest. He looked back at the tortoise and cried out, "How do you expect to win this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?"

      The Hare stretched himself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking, "There is plenty of time to relax."
      The Tortoise walked and walked; never ever stopping until he came to the finish line.

      The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for Tortoise, that they woke up Hare. The Hare stretched and yawned and began to run again, but it was too late. Tortoise was already over the line.
