One
day
a
rabbit
was
boasting
about
how
fast
he
could
run
.
He
was
laughing
at
the
turtle
for
being
so
slow
.
Much
to
the
rabbit's
surprise
,
the
turtle
____________________
him
to
a
race
.
The
rabbit
____________________
this
was
a
good
joke
and
____________________
the
challenge
.
The
fox
____________________
to
be
the
umpire
of
the
race
.
As
the
race
began
,
the
rabbit
raced
way
ahead
of
the
turtle
,
just
like
everyone
____________________
.
The
rabbit
____________________
to
the
halfway
point
and
could
not
see
the
____________________
anywhere
.
He
was
hot
and
tired
and
____________________
to
stop
and
take
a
short
nap
.
Even
if
the
turtle
____________________
him
,
he
would
be
able
to
race
to
the
finish
line
ahead
of
him
.
All
this
time
the
turtle
____________________
walking
step
by
step
by
step
.
He
never
quit
no
matter
how
hot
or
tired
he
got
.
He
just
kept
going
.
However
,
the
rabbit
____________________
longer
than
he
had
____________________
and
____________________
up
.
He
could
not
see
the
turtle
anywhere
!
He
____________________
at
full
-
speed
to
the
finish
line
but
____________________
the
turtle
there
waiting
for
him
.
