  3. The Ant and the Butterfly An ant passed a butterfly in a cocoon, about to finish its change. The butterfly moved its tail, catching the ant’s attention. The ant saw the butterfly all wrapped up in its cocoon. The ant boasted, “Look at you, stuck there. You are not able to move while I can run and play.” The butterfly did not reply. A few days later, the ant passed the spot again. The butterfly was gone. Only the cocoon remained. The ant wondered what happened to the creature inside when above him, a beautiful butterfly spread its wings. “Boast now that you can run and play,” said the butterfly. He flapped his wings and flew high in the sky.

  4. The Hare and the Tortoise One day a hare passed a tortoise plodding along on her way. The hare made fun of the tortoise’s short legs and slow pace. “I am twice as fast as you,” the hare boasted. The tortoise said, “I may have short legs. I may not be as fast as you. Yet, I bet I can beat you in a race.” The hare laughed at such a silly idea. He quickly agreed to the race. During the race, the hare knew he would win. He was sleepy, so he decided to rest on the side of the road. The hare fell asleep. When he woke up, he hurried to finish the race. The tortoise had already crossed the finish line. “Slow and steady wins the race,” he said.
