"The Tortoise and The Hare", Cerita Dongeng Anak Sebelum Tidur Bahasa Inggris Kaya Pesan Moral

TRIBUNJATENG.COM - Once upon a time in a sunny forest, there lived a speedy hare and a slow but steady tortoise.

The hare loved to brag. “I’m the fastest animal in the forest!” he would say, hopping around. “No one can beat me in a race!”

The tortoise, who didn’t like showing off, calmly replied, “Maybe I’m slow, but I’d still like to race you.”

The hare burst out laughing. “You? Race me? This will be the easiest win of my life!”

All the animals gathered to watch. “Ready, set, go!” called the fox, and the race began.

The hare zoomed ahead so fast, he was out of sight in seconds. The tortoise moved slowly, step by step, with his short legs and heavy shell.

The hare reached a shady tree and looked back. He didn’t see the tortoise anywhere.

“This is too easy,” said the hare. “I’ll take a little nap. He’ll never catch up anyway.”

So the hare curled up under the tree and quickly fell asleep.

Meanwhile, the tortoise kept going—slow and steady. He didn’t stop to rest. He didn’t stop to snack. He just kept moving, one small step at a time.

After a while, the hare woke up and stretched. “Time to finish the race,” he said.

But when he looked down the path—he couldn’t believe his eyes!

The tortoise was almost at the finish line!

The hare ran as fast as he could, his feet thumping the ground, but it was too late.

The tortoise crossed the finish line first!

All the animals cheered. The hare looked surprised—and a little embarrassed.

The tortoise smiled kindly and said, “Slow and steady wins the race.”

From that day on, the hare learned not to brag, and he always remembered the lesson from his slow and steady friend.
