Once in a town of Twidilly, Diddly Doo, there lived a Tortoise and a Hare but nobody knew why. Now the Tortoise was cunning and used a clever little trick every time he played a race. The trick was to go in his shell and roll himself all the way to the finish line. The animals did not notice this because they thought his shell was a rock rolling down the hill. The Tortoise was confident that nobody would find out his secret. The Hare was caring and good tempered fellow and before Tortoise came he used to win all the races without fail or cheating. Now the Hare was curious. Why is Tortoise winning every time? He thought. So next time there was a race and he saw Tortoise go into his shell but before he could roll downhill Hare caught his shell…Got you!! He cried. And soon the Tortoise was being put in the police van. The end

Rabbit was going to reach the finish line then suddenly he had more confidence. And then he looked back and saw he was behind the Tortoise. He tried to run faster and then finally came in front of the Tortoise. Then he saw that the finish line is invisible. Then he went near the lake. Then he saw a broken tree then he hopped over it and then he saw that the finish line is not over there it’s somewhere else then he hopped on that tree again and then he finally reached the finish line.

In the race a river interrupted. The Tortoise swims and passes the river. But the rabbit falls down in the river. Then the Tortoise helps him by going in the river and then put him on his shell and saving his life. Then the Tortoise dropped him. Then the Tortoise and rabbit move on. There comes the mountain. The Tortoise was not confident but the rabbit said you helped me in the river and now I will help you to climb the mountain. And they both reach the top of the mountain and there was the goal and they both win the race.

Once there was Hare and Tortoise they did a race but the race had traps and Hare said you are so slow then how can you defeat me then Tortoise said you can escape from traps Hare said I can. Let’s start the race. When they started to run, Hare falls into the trap, he gets tired. Then the Hare went in the forest and the Tortoise scared the Hare, as Tortoise could win but Hare suddenly felt that he could win the race and was confident and focussed on the race and in the last the Hare wins. And when the Tortoise was tired he ate a banana and Hare told the Tortoise that now Reflect what you have done and throw it in a right place.
