The Turtle and the Rabbit

By C Bryan Lavigne

“Hurry up,” ordered the rabbit.

“This isn’t a race,” replied the turtle.

“Yes it is,” the rabbit corrected.

“Well, I guess you’ll win then,” said the turtle.

“You’re so slow, I bet I can take a nap over here and still get there before you.”

And so the rabbit found a nice comfy spot in the grass and went to sleep. The turtle walked on, unconcerned.

The turtle heard the shouts when the fox ate the rabbit some while later.

“Thanks,” said the fox.

“Anytime,” replied the turtle. “I hate those creatures.”

“I love them,” said the fox. “They’re so delicious.”
