" Later, however, when the conductor came, Twain gave him two tickets—one for his friend and one for himself. Then he explained in a loud voice, "My friend is a strange man. When he rides on a train, he doesn't like to sit on the seat. He likes to lie(躺)on the floor under the seat. " Of course everybody on the train looked at the poor man and laughed at him.

"No one can catch me," Rabbit said proudly. "I'm wonderful!"
"We should teach him a lesson," said Mouse. "What can we do?"
"I know what to do," said Turtle slowly.
"Would you like to have a race?" Turtle asked Rabbit. "Let's race to Big Rock. "
"Do I want to race? With you?" laughed Rabbit loudly. "You are just a slow turtle. "
Turtle smiled, "I can win. "
"Let's go!" Rabbit said.
They began to race. Rabbit ran fast. He left Turtle far behind. Then he saw a restaurant. "I'm hungry. And Turtle runs slower than me. I have enough time for dinner," he thought happily.
When Rabbit was having a delicious meal, Turtle went past the restaurant. He did not stop. But Rabbit caught up with him quickly and left him behind again.
Rabbit felt a bit tired then. He found a stump. He slept against the stump. Turtle did not stop. He went past the stump. He ran slower than Rabbit. But he ran and ran.
Suddenly, Rabbit opened his eyes. He jumped up quickly. He ran faster than before. But it was too late. Turtle won the race.
