The Tortoise and the Hare

A hare was making fun of Tortoise

one day in the forest 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 he agreed.
So the fox, who had consented to act
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 tree to take a nap
until Tortoise should catch up.

The Tortoise meanwhile keep 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.

f) Developing Mastery ( leads
to Formative Assessment)
And now, since you already
understand how to identify the
character, settings, and the event of
the story, we will read another story
called “The ant and the
grasshopper”.

It was a beautiful spring day, a

grasshopper was playing in a green
grassy field. In that field he noticed a
line of ants marching along carrying
some grains of wheat.

The grasshopper asked. “Where are

you going with that big load?”.
“We are taking these grains to our
nest,” said the ant. “But it such a
beautiful day, come and play with
me,” said the grasshopper.

“No, I think you should come work

with us, it’s going to a long winter
with lots of snow. You had better
start storing your food now” replied
the ant.

“Why worry about winter? It’s only

spring, and there are lots of food
everywhere,” said the grasshopper.
The grasshopper did not listen to ant.
He became quite fat.

Then the summer came. Ants were

busy collecting food for winter, but
the grasshopper did nothing but to
eat, sleep and play. He became even
fatter! Later Autumn came. Ant
advised grasshopper to collect food
for winter but he didn’t listen.

“Winter is not here yet, and when it

comes, I am sure I will be able to
find some food.” A few weeks later,
winter came and the snow began to
fall. Just as the ants said, the snow
was very deep. Ants were all snug
(warm and comfortable) in their nest
with lots of good food to eat. The
grasshopper, however, had trouble
finding food. He was very hungry
and miserably cold all winter. By the
time winter had ended, the
grasshopper had learned a valuable
lesson.

Next spring onward, the grasshopper

 went out to gather food with ant.
