The Tortoise and the Hare

I read The Tortoise and the Hare in the Folk & Fairy Tale series.
It was written by Violet Findley and it was illustrated by Jackie Snider.

This story is about the race of  a tortoise and a hare.
Of course, you think a hare will win the race, aren't you?
But a tortoise won the race.

However, why did he win the race?  How did he win the race?

If you are interested, please read it.

This story is very exciting.
And it is easy for me to read it.
So I recommend it.
