looked and laughed at him.
The tortoise asked “What happened?”
The rabbit replied, “You walk so slowly! How can you survive like this? What are you (1)____?”.
The turtle listened to everything and felt (2)____ by the rabbit’s words.
The tortoise replied, “Hey friend! You are very proud of your speed. Let’s have a race and see
who is faster”.
The rabbit was surprised by the challenge of the tortoise. But he accepted the challenge as he
thought it would be a cakewalk for him. So, the tortoise and rabbit started the race. The rabbit was as
usual very fast and went far away while the tortoise was left behind. After a while, the rabbit looked

The rabbit was very disappointed with himself while the tortoise was very happy to win the race
with his slow speed. He could not believe his eyes. He was shocked by the end results. At last, the
