The rabbit and the turtle

Long time ago on summer day, all of animals in the wood would play together near the river. Today, they had a meeting at mountain. The rabbit was a first person in here. He had waited until he saw the turtle who was the last person came in here. The rabbit complained a lot about why the turtle walked so slowly. After the turtle listened, the turtle got angry. Then, the turtle challenged the rabbit “We have to compete together I want to know who is fastest between the rabbit and the turtle”. The rabbit was really sure that he would win on this competition. Then the rabbit said “I will compete with you because I knew I will win” and then “The object of competition is who will be the first person to stay in a finish line on the next mountain”. All of animals were standing on the sides of line. They were cheering both of them. After the hen blow a whistle, the rabbit was running in front of the turtle. When the rabbit had run far away from the beginning line, he thought that it was impossible the turtle will be winning. Then, the rabbit thought he had enough time to take a nap. He slept until the sun set. After he woke up, he had hurried up to go to mountain. Finally, He stayed at the next mountain but it was very late for him to come here. The turtle was the winner.
