Once upon a time, there was a rabbit who was very proud of his speed. He would often brag to the other animals about how fast he was.

从前，有一只兔子为自己的速度感到非常自豪。它经常向其他动物吹嘘自己跑得多快。

One day, a turtle came up to the rabbit and said, "I challenge you to a race."

有一天，一只乌龟走到兔子面前说道：“我挑战你赛跑。”

The rabbit laughed. "Why would I race a turtle?" he said. "You're so slow, you'd never have a chance of winning."

兔子笑了。“我为什么要和乌龟比赛？”他说道，“你跑得那么慢，你根本没有获胜的机会。”

The turtle insisted, so the rabbit finally agreed to the race.

乌龟坚持比赛，所以兔子最终同意了。

On the day of the race, the animals all gathered to watch. The rabbit was way ahead at first, as was expected. He crossed the finish line first, and the crowd cheered.

比赛那天，动物们都聚集在一起观看。果然，兔子一开始就领先很多。它率先冲过终点线，人群欢呼起来。

But then, something strange happened. The turtle kept going, and going, and going. He was slow, but he never gave up. He crawled across the finish line, and the crowd went wild.

但随后，奇怪的事情发生了。乌龟继续前进，前进，再前进。它很慢，但它从未放弃。它爬过终点线，人群沸腾了。

The rabbit was stunned. He couldn't believe that he had lost to a turtle. He learned an important lesson that day: never underestimate your opponent.

兔子惊呆了。它简直不敢相信自己居然输给了一只乌龟。那天它学到了一课：永远不要低估你的对手。
