One day, a turtle is climbing. A rabbit sees the turtle. It asks the turtle: “Hi, turtle. What are you doing?” “I’m running¹.” The turtle says. “Haha, you are running? How slowly²! Let’s play a game. Let’s see who runs fast.” The rabbit laughs. “OK.” The turtle says.

The next day is a sunny day. The turtle and the rabbit are ready for a game. Many animals are watching. “Three ! Two! One! Start!” monkey says. The rabbit and the turtle runs to the end. The rabbit runs very fast. The turtle is climbing so slowly. It’s behind the rabbit. The rabbit runs to a tree. It sees the turtle is behind. It thinks: “The turtle is very slow. I can sleep under the tree.” So the rabbit is sleeping.

The rabbit runs to the end. It sees the turtle there. “Haha, I win!” the turtle says. The rabbit is very sad. It is crying.

This story tells us: we can’t be pride⁴.

以前有一只兔子，他对他能跑很快感到很自豪，一天他遇到了一只乌龟，他嘲笑乌龟跑的太慢。

乌龟反驳说要不然来场赛跑。

赛跑开始了，兔子能够跑的很快，把乌龟甩在了后边，时间过了一半，兔子感到继续跑下去很无聊，就休息了，睡得很香。这时乌龟一直在跑，最后超过了兔子睡觉的地方。最终乌龟赢得了这次赛跑。兔子醒后发现乌龟在他前边，赶紧跑起来想追上乌龟，但是太晚了。这个故事告诉我们“稳扎稳打才能赢得比赛”或者“不要对你的能力评价太高。”
