BR 1-04: The Hare and the Tortoise

I read the Hare and the Tortoise. Harry Hare loves running and he loves talking about it too. When he suggests a race, nobody expects Tom Tortoise to take up the challenge. The day arrived. Hare was asleep on the way to goal. When he got up, he remembered the race. He ran faster than ever before. Hare dived over the line but he was too late. Tom tortoise had won.
Today the story is well known in Japan. I have read the story many times when I was a child. But I read the story in English for the first time. It is very interesting.
