KEY ACTIVITY 1 That rabbit! What a character! He was proud of his long ears. He was proud of his long feet. And he was very proud of how fast he ran.
“No one can catch me,” Rabbit said. “I’m wonderful. Wonderful!” “He is terrible,” said Mouse. “Awful!” said Spider. “But what we can do?” “I know what to do”, said Turtle. “Would you like to have a race?” Turtle asked Rabbit. “Let’s race to Big Rock.” “Do I want to race? With you?” rabbit laughed. “You are a dirty, dull turtle.
A SLOW turtle.” Turtle smiled. “I can win,” he said. Rabbit stopped laughing. “Let’s go!” he said. They ran. That rabbit was fast. He left Turtle behind in no time. Then saw a restaurant. “I’m hungry,” he thought. “And that turtle is slow. I have time for dinner.” Rabbit ate a delicious meal of fruit, cheese, and cake. Turtle went past the restaurant. He didn’t stop. But Rabbit caught up with
him later and left him behind again. Rabbit felt a little tired then. He found a log. He decided to crawl in. He slept. Turtle did not stop. He went past log. He was slow, but he ran and he ran. Suddenly Rabbit opened his eyes. He jumped up. He ran faster than before. But he was too late. That turtle was slow. But he did not stop. He did not give up. And he won!
