One winter day, the Snowy Forest was covered in white. Hare yawned and stretched.

Hare peeked outside and saw Tortoise. 'Let's race!' he exclaimed, jumping excitedly.

Tortoise looked at the thick snow but nodded. 'Slow and steady,' he thought.

They lined up at the snowy start. Fox shouted, 'Go!' and they were off!

Hare bounded ahead, the snow flying beneath his paws with ease.

After a while, Hare looked back. Tortoise was far behind, plodding along slowly.

Confident, Hare decided to rest. 'I'll win anyway,' he thought, and napped.

Tortoise passed the sleeping Hare, his steady steps never stopping in the snow.

Hare woke up and panicked. He could no longer see Tortoise ahead!

He ran as fast as he could, the cold snow stinging his eyes.

Tortoise, nearing the finish, heard Hare's frantic steps but didn't rush.

With the forest animals cheering, Tortoise crossed the finish line, winning the race!
