The turtle and the lion

                                             THE TURTLE AND THE LION RACING


Once upon a time there was a land that had the fastest animal which was the lion. The lion was brave, strong and scary to other people. One day when the lion came outside he screamed out”’I am the fastest out of this town and no one would beat me”. When he said that a little small turtle stood up and said “I will race you even if I lose”.Then the lion said “Oh please Don't race me because I'll beat you by miles. Then the turtle said “ let's see when we have a race. After that the lion accepted it and went to the race line.Then the caller said “3,2,1 go”. Off they went running around the  green long maze. After about 4 minutes the lion was in the lead and the turtle was not far away. When the lion was in the lead, he felt so tired that he went and jumped in the long green grass. Then he said to himself “The turtle wont come that fast, it would take forever to get here”. Little did he know that the turtle was almost next to his well he was sleeping. When the turtle got closer and closer, he quietly went past her without him noticing at all. When he went past him he felt happy because he was almost to the finish line. After that he was proud of himself about crossing the finish line when the crowd started to cheer for him and guess who woke up, it was the lion. He could not believe his eyes when  he saw the slow turtle about to finish the race. So he ran his fastest to touch the line, but suddenly it was too late. The turtle had passed the line before the lion did,So the lion went home crying and the slow turtle became unbeatable and the fastest out of the land.
