In the big forest, there lived many animals. There was a beautiful hare who was very good at running. She almost won all the running races, so she became very proud. Tortoise was the slowest in the forest. When other animals met him on the way, they always offered help, “Where are you going? Do you need a ride?” The tortoise would always answer them politely, “No, thank you. As long as I keep on crawling, I will get to my place finally.”

One morning, the hare saw the tortoise nearby. He was crawling slowly. The rabbit wanted to make fun of him. So she jumped toward the tortoise and said, “Tortoise, why don’t we have a race?” The tortoise thought for a while and said, “OK, let’s have the race now.” hearing this, the hare couldn’t help laughing. Then she pointed to the big tree at the foot of the hill and said, “All right, we’ll start from here. Let’s see who will get to that tree first.” The tortoise nodded in agreement.

The magpie flew around the forest. She told everybody the news. Everyone came to watch the race. They invited the squirrel brothers to be the judges. Younger brother squirrel stood at the starting line, and elder brother squirrel waited at the finishing line.

“Ready! Go-” younger brother squirrel ordered. “The hare ran forward very fast. The hare is so fast! The tortoise has no chance to win!” the animals said. Soon afterwards, the hare had left the tortoise far behind. She thought, “The tortoise racing with the rabbit, what a joke! I’ll teach him a lesson.” At this moment, the hare saw a big tree on one side of the road. She thought, “The tortoise is so far away behind me. Why not take a rest? I will let him go ahead. Then I can catch up with him in one jump. Everybody will know that I am really fast.” so, the hare stopped running and jumped toward the big tree. She sat down, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

The tortoise was still crawling forward very slowly. The animals yelled at him, “The hare may have reached the finishing line by now. You can’t win.” “No matter what, I will keep crawling and get to the finishing line,” the tortoise answered.

My dad and I had been looking forward to the Stale cross-country race of my senior year of high school, which would be the climax (顶点) of my existence.

I was the fastest runner on my team, and I was supposed to make it into the top fifteen. We had been working towards this race for three years. It was everything to me, and it was everything to my dad. He was a runner and was wild with joy by my success in running. He made it to every race, even flying home early from business trips to see me run. I always listened for his voice, which rang above the crowd-telling me to relax my arms, calling out my time. He pushed me. He cheered for me. He believed in me. We spent countless hours on the sandy canals of Arizona. Breathing in the dust of the desert, the blossoms of the orange trees, and the terrible smell of the dairy farm, we made our way across the city. We pounded miles and miles into our running shoes, marking with every step the path to greatness. It was a journey that was just ours. A dream passed on from one generation to the next.

Then the big day came. It was hotter than normal - too hot. My throat felt like a field of cotton, cracked with the summer heat, as I waited for the gun to fire. I gazed out at the crowd; dozens of familiar faces from church and school flickered across my view. They had come for me. They were counting on me. I saw my dad set his watch, worry and excitement etched across his face. With the sound of a gunshot, the race began.

For the first two and half miles, I felt great. I had never before been so ready for something. The weeks leading up to the race were filled with hard practices and a strict diet. The scorching sun beat upon my back, blinding me with its brilliance. Nothing was going to stop me, though.
