龜兔賽跑故事中文版：
兔子長了四條腿，一蹦一跳，跑得可快啦。
烏龜也長了四條腿，爬呀，爬呀，爬得真慢。
有一天，兔子碰見烏龜，看見烏龜爬得這么慢，就想戲弄戲弄他，于是笑瞇瞇地說：“烏龜，烏龜，咱們來賽跑，好嗎？”烏龜知道兔子在開他玩笑，瞪著一雙小眼睛，不理也不踩。兔子知道烏龜不敢跟他賽跑，樂得擺著耳朵直蹦跳，還編了一支山歌笑話他：
烏龜，烏龜，爬爬爬，一早出門采花；烏龜，烏龜，走走走，傍晚還在門口。
烏龜生氣了，說：“兔子，兔子，你別神靈活現的，咱們就來賽跑！”
“什么？烏龜，你說什么？”
“咱們這就來賽跑。”
兔子一聽，差點笑破了肚子：“烏龜，你真敢跟我賽跑？那好，咱們從這兒跑起，看誰先跑到那邊山腳下的一棵大樹。預備！一，二，三……”兔子撒開腿就跑，跑得真快，一會兒就跑得很遠了。他回頭一看，烏龜才爬了一小段路呢，心想：烏龜敢跟兔子賽跑，真是天大的笑話！我呀，在這兒睡上一大覺，讓他爬到這兒，不，讓他爬到前面去吧，我三蹦二跳的就追上他了。
“啦啦啦，勝利準是我的嘛！”兔子把身子往地上一躺，合上眼皮，真的睡著了。再說烏龜，爬得也真慢，可是他一個勁兒地爬，爬呀，爬呀，爬，等他爬到兔子身邊，已經筋疲力盡了。兔子還在睡覺，烏龜也想休息一會兒，可他知道兔子跑得比他快，只有堅持爬下去才有可能贏。于是，他不停地往前爬、爬、爬。離大樹越來越近了，只差幾十步了，十幾步了，幾步了………終于到了。
兔子呢？他還在睡覺呢！兔子醒來后往后一看，唉，烏龜怎么不見了？再往前一看，哎呀，不得了了！烏龜已經爬到大樹底下了。兔子一看可急了，急忙趕上去可已經晚了，烏龜已經贏了。
兔子跑得快，烏龜跑得慢，為什么這次比賽烏龜反而贏了呢？
英文版：
In the forest, there is a fast rabbit. He likes to race other animals. He always wins. "I am very fast," he says. "I can win any race." One day, the rabbit sees a turtle. "You are so slow. I am faster than you," he says. "Do you want to race me?"
"Yes," says the turtle. "Ha, ha. It will be easy to win," laughs the rabbit. "You will lose. Your legs are too short."
"Tomorrow we will have a race," says the rabbit. All of the animals are excited. They want to see the race. "The turtle will lose. He is too slow," they all say.
The turtle gets up early in the morning. The race is today. There are many animals at the race. The turtle walks to the starting line. All the animals laugh at him.
The rabbit is waiting for the turtle. "I will win," laughs the rabbit. "I will try my best," says the turtle.
The race begins. All of the other animals are excited. "Go, go, go," they say. The rabbit runs very quickly. The turtle walks slowly.
The rabbit turns around. The turtle is walking so slowly. "Ha, ha, you will never win this race," the rabbit says. The turtle is slower than the rabbit. The rabbit laughs at the turtle.
Then the rabbit sees a tree. "The turtle is so slow. I will takea nap. I can still win the race," says the rabbit. He goes to sleep under the tree.
The turtle keeps walking. He is tired and his legs hurt. The rabbit is sleeping under a tree. The turtle quietly walks past the rabbit. He is very quiet because he doesnt want to wake up the rabbit.
"I can do it! I can do it!" says the turtle. "My legs are short and I am slow, but I can win this race." The turtle can see the finish line.
Suddenly, the rabbit wakes up. The turtle is far away. "He will win!" he says. The rabbit runs, but it is too late. The turtle wins the race.
"Yeah! You are the best," say the other animals. "You are great!" The turtle is happy. The rabbit feels sad. All of the animals now laugh at the rabbit.
"Ha, ha, ha," they laugh. "You say you are the best, but the slow turtle is the winner," they say. "He is the best! The turtle is great!"
"I am slow. I have short legs. I am not fast, but I did it!" says the turtle. The rabbit is quiet. He slowly walks home.
寓意：
虛心使人進步，驕傲使人落后。 要踏踏實實地做事情，不要半途而廢，才會取得成功。
