Once upon a time there was a bunny named Benny who loved to hop, hurry and jump. One day while playing in the meadow, he saw a turtle named Tilly who was moving slow and steady. Benny wanted to have some fun and offered to race with Tilly. Tilly agreed and the race began.

Benny hopped, hurried and jumped as fast as he could, but Tilly was hurling slowly and steadily. Benny soon realized that slow and steady wins the race and that he should always be careful while playing.

From that day on, Benny learned to take his time and play safely. He and Tilly became great friends and had many more races together, with Benny always taking it slow and steady just like Tilly.

Reflections

1. What did Benny learn from racing Tilly?
2. How did Benny and Tilly become friends?
3. Was Benny's way of playing safe or risky?
4. Why did Tilly win the race?
5. What can we learn from Benny and Tilly's story?
