IV. Read and answer the questions.

THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE

A Hare was making fun of the Tortoise one day for being so slow. “Do you ever get anywhere?” he asked
with a mocking laugh. “Yes,” replied the Tortoise, “and I get there sooner than you think. I’ll run you a race and
prove it.”The Hare was much amused at the idea of running a race with the Tortoise, but for the fun of the thing
he agreed. So the Fox, who had consented as judge, marked the distance and started the runners off. The Hare
was soon far out of sight, and to make the Tortoise feel very deeply how ridiculous it was for him to try a race
with a Hare, he lay down beside the course to take a nap until the Tortoise should catch up. The Tortoise
meanwhile kept going slowly but steadily, and, after a time, passed the place where the Hare was sleeping. But
the Hare slept on very peacefully; and when at last he did wake up, the Tortoise was near the goal. The Hare
now ran his swiftest, but he could not overtake the Tortoise in time.
