Read the questions from

READING the STORY.
THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE
 There was once a hare
who was friends with a
tortoise.
One day, he challenged
the tortoise to a race.
 Seeing how slow the
tortoise was going, the
hare thought he would
win this easily. So, he took
a nap while the tortoise
kept on going.
 When the hare woke up, he
saw that the tortoise was
already at the finish line.
Much to his chagrin, the
tortoise won the race while
the hare was busy sleeping.
