[glow=255,red,2]10.The hare and the tortoise[/glow] The hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals.

"I could dance around you the whole way." 　　 　　　　The race started. The hare darted almost out of sight at once. He soon stopped and lay down to have a nap. 　　 　　　　The tortoise plodded on and on. When the hare awoke from his nap, he saw the tortoise was near the finish line, and that he had lost the race.

So if you remove your claws and teeth, we will give her to you." 　　 　　　　The lion loved the girl very much, so he trimmed his claws and took out his big teeth. When he came to the parents again, they simply laughed in his face, and beat him out of their house.

[glow=255,red,2]12.The wolf and the lamb[/glow] Once upon a time a wolf was lapping at a stream. When he looked up, he saw a lamb drinking a little lower down. 　　 　　　　"There‘s my supper," he thought. "I will find some excuse to catch it." Then he called out to the lamb, "How dare you muddle the water?" "No, master," said the lamb. "I cannot muddle your water because it runs down from you to me." 　　 　　　　"Well, then," said the wolf. "Why did you call me bad names this time last year?" "It was impossible," said the lamb. "I am only six months old." 　　 　　　　"I don‘t care," shouted the wolf. "If it was not you, it must be your father." After that he rushed at the poor little lamb and ate it up.

13.One hot summer day a fox was walking through an orchard. He stopped before a bunch of grapes. They were ripe and juicy. 　　 　　　　"I‘m just feeling thirsty," he thought.
