Narrator: Once upon a time, in a big forest, there was a Tortoise and a Hare.

 

Tortoise: (Slowly) Hi there, Hare. Want to race?

 

Hare: (Laughing) Race? With you? You're too slow, Tortoise!

 

Narrator: The Hare was very fast and loved to show off.

 

Tortoise: (Calmly) Well, let's see who wins.

 

Hare: (Confidently) Alright, Tortoise. Let's race tomorrow!

 

Narrator: The next day, all the animals gathered to watch the race.

 

Tortoise: (Ready) I might be slow, but I'll keep going.

 

Narrator: The race began, and the Hare zoomed ahead.

 

Hare: (Mocking) See you at the finish line, Tortoise!

 

Narrator: The Tortoise walked slowly and steadily.

 

Tortoise: (Focused) I won't stop. Slow and steady wins the race.

 

Narrator: The Hare was so confident that it decided to take a nap.


Hare: (Yawning) Wake me up when the Tortoise is almost done.


Hare: (Sleeping) A quick nap won't hurt.

Narrator: Meanwhile, the Tortoise kept moving forward.

 

Tortoise: (Persistently) One step at a time.

 

Narrator: When the Hare woke up, it was surprised.

 

Hare: (Panicking) Oh no! I slept too long!

 

Narrator: The Tortoise was near the finish line.

 

Tortoise: (Calmly) I'm almost there.

 

Narrator: The Hare sprinted as fast as it could, but it was too late.

 

Tortoise: (Crossing the finish line) I did it!

 

Narrator: The Tortoise had won the race!

 

Hare: (Breathing heavily) Congratulations, Tortoise. You were right. Slow and steady does win.

 

Narrator: From that day on, the animals learned that it's not just speed that matters, but also determination.

 

Tortoise: (Smiling) Remember, slow and steady wins the race.

 

Narrator: And they all lived happily, knowing that every step forward counts.

 

(All characters gather and take a bow)

 

Narrator: The end.
