. Read "The Tortoise and the Hare." What do the characters remember about the story? In a paragraph of at least three sentences, choose either the Tortoise or the Hare and write a flashback that tells a portion of the story from that character's point of view. A Hare was one day making fun of a Tortoise for being so slow upon his feet. "Wait a bit," said the Tortoise; "I'll run a race with you, and I'll wager that I win." "Oh, well," replied the Hare, who was much amused at the idea, "let's try and see"; and it was soon agreed that the fox should set a course for them, and be the judge. When the time came both started off together, but the Hare was soon so far ahead that he thought he might as well have a rest: so down he lay and fell fast asleep. Meanwhile the Tortoise kept plodding on, and in time reached the goal. At last the Hare woke up with a start, and dashed on at his fastest, but only to find that the Tortoise had already won the race.
(btw this is in the hare's pov) As i woke up with i start i realized that i had fallen asleep. Oh dear! i had only meant to catch my breath. As i looked up at the sun i realized that the sun was much farther across the sky than it was when the race started. At this point it must have been past noon, that mean the tortoise could be at the finish line already! I ran as fast as my paws would take me. When i reached the finish line my worry had been confirmed; the tortoise had won the race.
