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 boys and girls and good night
