The students of the 2° C.D. "Giovanni XXIII" presented a retelling of the fable "The Tortoise and the Hare". In the fable, the hare brags about his speed and challenges the tortoise to a race. During the race, the hare gets overconfident and stops to take a nap while the tortoise steadily makes progress. When the hare wakes up, he sees the tortoise is near the finish line and cannot pass it to win the race. The moral of the fable is not to underestimate one's opponent.

The project
the fable The tortoise and The Hare
The Hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. "I have never yet been beaten," said he, "when I put forth my full speed.
The Tortoise said quietly, "I accept your challenge." I challenge any one here to race with me."
"That is a good joke," said the Hare; "I could dance round you all the way."
"Keep your boasting till you've beaten," answered the Tortoise. "Shall we race?"
So a course was fixed and a start was made.
The Hare darted almost out of sight at once, but …
soon stopped and, to show his contempt for the Tortoise, lay down to have a nap.
The Tortoise plodded on and plodded on, and when the Hare awoke from his nap
when the Hare awoke from his nap, he saw the Tortoise just near the winning- post and could not run up in time to save the race.
The hare awoke and when he saw the turtle near the finish line, made a quick jump, but the turtle had arrived and won the race, leaving the superb hare with diddly squat.
Moral of the fable NOT UNDER- THE OPPONENT
