Buggy Races

Once upon a time there lived two best friends, the hare and the tortoise. They liked to race against each
other, but the hare always won.
One day, the hare asked the tortoise to race down to the beach. The tortoise refused, he said that he will loose anyway. The hare replied in a kind voice that he felt sorry about it.
But the next day, the hare found a way to race the tortoise that would be fair and lots of fun too. He asked the tortoise to come with him. The tortoise was slowly plodding over the sandhill towards the beach. Now the two friends can race against each other all day and something tells me that the tortoise might win this time.
Adapted from 50 Bedtime Stories, 2002
