Scene 1 · Beginner
Μια φορά, ο λαγός έλεγε στα άλλα ζώα πόσο γρήγορος ήταν. «Κανείς δεν με έχει νικήσει ποτέ στο τρέξιμο. Ποιος θέλει να τρέξει μαζί μου;» «Εγώ θέλω», είπε ήρεμα η χελώνα.
Once, the hare was telling the other animals how fast he was. “No one has ever beaten me in a race. Who wants to race me?” “I do,” said the tortoise calmly.
Ο λαγός είπε ότι αυτό ήταν αστείο και ότι μπορούσε να τη νικήσει πολύ εύκολα.
The hare said that was funny and that he could beat her very easily.
«Πρώτα πρέπει να με νικήσεις», απάντησε η χελώνα.
“First you have to beat me,” replied the tortoise.
Διάλεξαν τη διαδρομή και ξεκίνησαν τον αγώνα.
They chose the route and started the race.
