Greece’s
story of
The Hare
and the
Tortoise
The children enjoyed seeing the children in Greece. They
thought that the pictures of their drawing and their acting was
nice.
The children thought the story was about a fast hare who
thought he was the best and a tortoise who kept on trying. The
hare raced the tortoise, but he was so far ahead he had a
sleep. When he was asleep the tortoise went past him and
won the race.
We learnt that you should not think you are better than
someone and that you should always try your best.
