The wind and The sun
The wind and the sun are friends.But they always argue.
“I’m stronger than you.”said the wind.
“ No , I’m stronger than you.”said the sun.
One day they saw a man walking along the road .
T he wind said to the sun, “Look at that man. I c an take off his coat .”
“Let’s see who is the winner.” said the sun. “I will let you try first.”
So the wind tried to make the man take off his coat. He blew harder and harder,
“Oh ,it’s so cold!”said the man,and he pulled his coat more closely.
“I give up,” said the wind at last. “I can’t take off his coat.”
“Now it’s my turn, let me have a try.”said the sun.
Then the sun made the day sunny. He shone as hard as he could.
“Oh, it’s so hot now.” said the man,and he took off his coat .
The hare and The tortoise
One day a hare met a tortoise at the foot of a hill.
“Hello, little Tortoise! Where are you going? How short your legs are!”said the hare.
“I am going over to the hill. I am a slow runner, but I can run a race with you,”said the tortoise.
“All right. Let's run a race to the top of the hill,”said the hare.
The hare and the tortoise started. The hare ran very fast.
The hare said to himself, “I can much faster than the tortoise, and I may have a little nap here.”
So the hare lay down under a tree and was fast asleep. But the tortoise did not stop for a moment. He walked on and on. At last he got to the top of the hill.
The hare woke up and looked around, but he could not see the tortoise. He sprang up and ran as fast as he could. When the hare got to the top of the hill, he found the tortoise was resting there peacefully.
The tortoise said to the hare, “Now, Mr. Hare! Which was the faster runner, you or I?”。
