hello boys and girls
so this is the first story of Swavesey Storytime and
this story you may have heard her before
and is called The Tortoise And The Hare
I'm going to be telling it today
so once there was a tortoise he was slow but he
always got where he wanted to be soon enough
there was also a rabbit
or much rather a hare, he was particularly proud
and he thought he was the most handsome hare in the entire world
also he had been blessed with a very strong back legs
which meant he could run like the wind
Shh, one day the rabbit was running with
his friends Plains hug ??? when he saw the
tortoise walk by now
his hair was also very elegant
he liked to boast about his speed
so he shouted over to the tortoise
hey tortoise, if you wouldn't run any faster
the grass would grow over you
and his friends laugh
the tortoise said, although I may be slow
I get to where I would like soon enough
thank you
then he looked at the hare and smiled
then he said in fact I think I could beat you to where I'm going
and the hare said are you challenging me to race
and the tortoise said, well, maybe
so the race was on.
the tortoise and the hare then lined up
at the start of the race track,
Ready, Steady,Go! when now ??? and off they sped down the road
the hare was very fast and he was in a hurry
but he always found time to wave to his supporters
But the tortoise plotted on not waving to supporters
just keeping his eye on the finish line
althoug it was eight miles behind
when the hare got half way he decided to have a rest
he said to himself, you know I could just
sleep here by this halfway point for a bit
and then when I wake up I can still
run to the finish line and beat that tortoise Hollow
so that's exactly what he did
he slept and he slept, days did pass by
hours and hours did pass by
until eventually the tortoise came plodding ??? up the hill
when he saw the hare asleep ???
he raised his eyebrows
but did not make a sound
a few hours later the hare woke up
the Sun was starting to set
this hare thought to himself
because the hare looked round
and the tortoise was nowhere to be seen
the hare thought himself
yes! the tortoise is nowhere to be seen
I still have loads of time to win the race
so up the hill he sped
and down the hill he sped again
but as he whizzed over the last Hill
and came in sight of the finish line
he was astonished to find that
the tortoise was taking his last few steps
towards the finish line.
the crowd cheered as as the tortoise cut the rope with his shiny shell
the tortoise also said
slowly maybe but keep my eyes on the gold
and do not let anything distract me
and the moral of this story is
Slow and steady wins the race
PS, I'm doing stories on Mondays and Wednesday
well, thank you for listening
