The original story of "tortoise and rabbit race"

A rabbit has four legs. It jumps fast and runs fast.

The tortoise has four legs, too. Climb, climb, climb slowly. One day, the rabbit met the tortoise, saw the tortoise crawling so slowly, missed Doby, and said with a smile, "Tortoise, tortoise, let's race, shall we?" The tortoise knew that the rabbit was joking with him, staring at a pair of small eyes, ignoring it and not stepping on it. Knowing that the tortoise didn't dare to race with him, the rabbit jumped straight with his ears open and made up a folk joke about him: tortoise, tortoise, crawl, go out early to pick flowers; Tortoise, tortoise, go for a walk. Still at the door at night. The tortoise was angry and said, "Rabbit, rabbit, don't be flexible." Let's race! " "

"What? Tortoise, what did you say? " "Let's race." Hearing this, the rabbit almost laughed: "Tortoise, do you really dare to race with me?" Ok, let's run from here and see who runs to a big tree at the foot of the mountain first. Get ready! One, two, three-"The rabbit spread its legs and ran, really fast, and soon ran far away. Looking back, he found that the tortoise had only climbed a short distance. He thought, it is a big joke that the tortoise dares to race with the rabbit! Me, sleep here and let him climb here. No, let him climb to the front. I caught up with him in three jumps.

"La la la, the victory must be mine!" The rabbit lay on the ground, closed its eyelids and really fell asleep. Besides, the tortoise is really slow, but when he keeps climbing, climbing, climbing, and climbing to the rabbit, he is exhausted. The rabbit is still sleeping, and the tortoise wants to have a rest, but he knows that the rabbit runs faster than him and can only win if he keeps climbing. So he kept crawling, crawling, crawling. It's getting closer and closer to the tree, only a few dozen steps away, a dozen steps away, a few steps away. Where is ............................................................................................................................................... Rabbit? He's still sleeping! The rabbit woke up and looked back. Alas, why has the tortoise disappeared? Looking forward to it again, oh, great! The tortoise has climbed under the big tree. The rabbit looked worried and hurried to catch up, but it was too late. The tortoise won. Rabbits run fast, while turtles run slowly. Why did the tortoise win the game instead?
