The Rabbit and the Turtle

One day, in the forest a rabbit was boasting about how fast he could run. He
was laughing at the turtle for being so slow. Much to the rabbit’s surprise, the
turtle challenged him to a race. The rabbit thought this was a good joke and
accepted the challenge. The fox was to be the umpire of the race
As the race began, the rabbit raced way ahead of the turtle, just like everyone
thought. The rabbit got to the halfway point and could not see the turtle
anywhere. He was hot and tired and decided to stop and take a short nap. All
this time the turtle kept walking step by step by step. He never quit no matter
how hot or tired he got. He just kept going.
However, the rabbit slept longer than he had thought and woke up. He could
not see the turtle anywhere! He went at full-speed to the finish line but found
the turtle there waiting for him.

Skateboarding

Anybody who is over the age of six knows that there is nowhere safe for
skateboarders to skate. This prevents young people from enjoying an active,
energetic and adventurous pastime.

skaters speeding up and down the footpaths. Toddlers can be trampled on and
old ladies can be knocked down as they struggle home carrying their cat food
from supermarkets.
Skateboarding is a serious sport that improves young people’s health. It
increases fitness, improves balance and strengthens the joints in knees and
ankles. Although it appears to be a solo sport, when groups practice together
and compete to perform stunts or runs they form firm friendships.

potatoes. If they are actively involved in skating, they do not smoke, take drugs
or break laws for fun.
