One day, Chameleon
challenged Rabbit to a
race to see who was
faster.
Rabbit accepted and said,
"You are so slow! You start
with one foot, then stop
and start with the other."
He boasted, "I'm going to
leave you far behind. You'll
never catch me!"
They invited all the
animals to come and
watch the race.
Chameleon and Rabbit
lined up and waited for the
signal.
As the race began,
Chameleon jumped onto
Rabbit's tail.
The animals laughed and
laughed.
Rabbit did not realise that
Chameleon was on his tail.
Hearing the noise, Rabbit
skidded to a stop.
Chameleon jumped off
Rabbit's tail.
"Hey, watch where you're
going! It's about time you
got here," Chameleon
shouted at Rabbit.
Rabbit was amazed. He
started running again.
He did not know that
Chameleon had once
again jumped onto his tail.
As Rabbit approached the
finish line, the animals saw
that Chameleon was still
on Rabbit's tail. They
clapped and laughed.
Rabbit heard the noise
and thought that
Chameleon had already
arrived ahead of him.
When they arrived at the
finish line, Chameleon
jumped off Rabbit's tail.
"Don't step on me! I got
here first!" Chameleon
shouted at Rabbit.
Rabbit stormed off in a
rage.
Chameleon stayed to
receive the prize, and
Rabbit lost.
