Scene 1 · Beginner
En dag skrøt haren foran de andre dyrene. Ingen hadde noen gang vunnet over ham når han løp så fort han kunne. Nå spurte han om noen ville løpe om kapp med ham.
One day the hare bragged in front of the other animals. No one had ever beaten him when he ran as fast as he could. Now he asked if anyone wanted to race him.
«Jeg vil gjerne løpe mot deg», sa skilpadden rolig.
“I’d like to race you,” the tortoise said calmly.
Haren kalte det en spøk. Han sa at skilpadden var så langsom at han kunne danse rundt den hele veien.
The hare called it a joke. He said the tortoise was so slow that he could dance around it the whole way.
«Vent med å skryte til du har vunnet», svarte skilpadden.
“Wait until you’ve won before you brag,” replied the tortoise.
De valgte hvor de skulle løpe, og så startet løpet.
They decided where to run, and then the race began.
