Scene 1 · Beginner
Pewnego razu zając opowiadał innym zwierzętom, jak szybko biega. Chwalił się, że nikt go jeszcze nie pokonał, kiedy biegł z pełną prędkością. Zaproponował wyścig każdemu, kto chciał się z nim ścigać.
Once, a hare was telling the other animals how fast he could run. He bragged that no one had ever beaten him when he ran at full speed. He challenged anyone who wanted to race him.
– Ja się z tobą zmierzę – powiedział spokojnie żółw.
“I’ll race you,” said the turtle calmly.
Zając uznał to za żart. Był pewny, że pobiegnie dużo szybciej od żółwia.
The hare thought it was a joke. He was sure he would run much faster than the turtle.
– Najpierw mnie pokonaj, a potem się chwal – odpowiedział żółw. – Ścigamy się?
“Beat me first, then brag,” the turtle replied. “Shall we race?”
Wybrano trasę wyścigu. Potem zając i żółw ruszyli.
They chose the race route. Then the hare and the turtle set off.
