Rabbit and Turtle

The day was sunny, but the animals in the forest did not notice the beautiful weather. They were disputing who can run the fastest. As always, the Rabbit and then brag.
"Until now, I'm the fastest runner! I'll race with you guys. This prize is gold buttons." Squirrels, will you compete with me? "
"Absolutely not, Rabbit," said Squirrel with amusement. "The foot-feet too long for me!"
"Wolf, do you want to race with me?" The wolf shook his head.
"So no one dared to compete with me? Stoat? Hedgehogs? ........ No one is going?"
For a moment everything is silent, then a soft voice said, "If you want, I'll try it!"


Rabbit looked around, searching for the origin of that voice and then he saw the turtle crawled slowly across the field at the edge of the forest. Rabbit was amused but he tried to remain serious when answering the Tortoise.
"Ah, my friend Turtles are good! Finally you also join with us!"
"I have no reason to hurry," answered the Tortoise. "After all, today was wonderful."
Rabbits showed him the glittering studs sun's overwritten.
"Apparently, you're the only penantangku, Tortoise. Do you want to race with me to the woods across the stone bridge there? You have to admit that the prize is great!" 

"The prize is very good, Rabbit; is really very good. And for me racing to the bridge across the forest was pretty decent. Yes, Rabbit, I'll race with you," answered the Tortoise slowly and carefully.
Rabbit laughed uproariously. "The Slow, you are not serious is not it! You can not win if the race with me! You must be joking!"
Other animals laughed.
Turtle shook his head slowly. "I'm not joking, really!" Tortoise convince them all. "Now, who will give the cue to leave?"
Rabbit was still laughing when they both lined up and waiting for the cue from an Owl.
"Tu-whit tu-whoo!"


"Just vote" tu-whoo "out of the half when a rabbit darted Burang Ghosts like the wind through the trees. The tortoise is still creeping to the edge of the forest, but the rabbit was not seen again.
"Come on, Turtle!" other animals cheered encouragingly with a laugh. "Can you run faster?"
"I wonder why you'd want to race, Tortoise!" Stoat said. "All animals know that Kelincilah who will win!"
Turtles are not happy to hear that mockery, but he did not want to show that his feelings hurt. In fact, he continued to crawl, he kept saying to himself:
"Slow but steady wins the race, a slow but steady ...." 

With the nimble rabbit ran through the trees, leaping over wooden stumps, slipped in between the plants shrubs. After a moment he paused and listened. There was no sound of any that follow it. He looked around.
There was no sign of the Kura-kura. Rabbit laughed to himself. He has raced far beyond the Tortoise. With lazy he walked a few steps away and then stopped. Now he was deep in the forest edge, and an old stone bridge that became the target race was in sight, not far from there.


But unfortunately, there was no beast of a rabbit watching won his victory. Rabbit, who likes to pretend, is not satisfied if no one was cheering his victory. So he decided to wait a while until there are other animals who were there. While waiting she began to lie down under a tree. He thought, if later on some of the animals had gathered he will continue to run into it and grab victory jembatana.
But the day was very hot, Rabbit must shut his eyes to avoid the blinding sunlight. And it's very comfortable place to rest .................
Rabbit fell asleep.

Rabbit afternoon then woke up. The sun was not too hot anymore. The light began to fade behind the trees. Rabbits can feel the cool evening breeze started blowing. When he woke, he heard the sound of other animals, grunt and squeak with delight. "Gosh! They have been here to witness my victory!" he thought.
"Turtles are poor. He must still lags far behind!"
Rabbit stretched out, then be ready to run again.

Rabbits do not know, that as long as he slept soundly, with difficulty but steady. The tortoise kept walking across the forest.
And rabbits have been asleep for a long time, long enough, so the turtles can slowly but surely go beyond it.
-Rabbits do not realize that other animals were cheering the Tortoise and not him. Rabbits do not know that turtles are now living just a few steps away from the old stone bridge .....

Suddenly, Rabbit saw the Tortoise. With shock he realized what had happened.
He did not believe was being stupid. But it is reality. Now, although he ran at full speed, no longer possible for him beyond the Tortoise! All animals were present to witness the tortoise wins the race!


With some difficulty, Tortoise gentle smile walked the last two steps to the stone bridge. He had won. He was very, very tired and hot, but not the slightest concern. He had conquered the bunny who likes to brag that! Other animals rejoice.
"Living Turtles! Good! Ye are the winner!"
The voices sounded like music in the ears of tortoise who was panting exhaustion.

By ignoring the weariness, the Tortoise stepped back onto the bridge and stood there, beaming and proud and shyly waved to the crowd the animals. This is one of the happiest in his life.


Rabbits poor and stupid! What a shame he had to remember that every animal is asleep when watching through the Tortoise!
What a shame because he had been defeated by the Turtles! How sorry he was bragging and big head!
"This is where you, the Tortoise. This is the gift of gold buttons," he said quietly with floppy ears. "San congratulations!"
Other animals laugh.
"It's okay, Rabbit," said the Tortoise with a friendly, "Keep the button again. I'm so happy today. But always remember: slow and steady will win the race, a slow but steady ........ ......"

Snow White

Once upon a time in mid winter, when the snowflakes were falling like feathers from heaven, a beautiful queen sat sewing at her window, which had a frame of black ebony wood. As she sewed, she looked up at the snow and pricked her finger with her needle. Three drops of blood fell into the snow. The red on the white looked so beautiful, that she thought, “If only I had a child as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as this frame.” Soon afterward she had a little daughter that was as white as snow, as red as blood, and as black as ebony wood, and therefore they called her Little Snow-White.

Now the queen was the most beautiful woman in all the land, and very proud of her beauty. She had a mirror, which she stood in front of every morning, and asked:

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who in this land is fairest of all?

And the mirror always said:

You, my queen, are fairest of all.

And then she knew for certain that no one in the world was more beautiful than she.

Now Snow-White grew up, and when she was seven years old, she was so beautiful, that she surpassed even the queen herself. Now when the queen asked her mirror:

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who in this land is fairest of all?

The mirror said:

You, my queen, are fair; it is true.
But Little Snow-White is still
A thousand times fairer than you.  

When the queen heard the mirror say this, she became pale with envy, and from that hour on, she hated Snow-White. Whenever she looked at her, she thought that Snow-White was to blame that she was no longer the most beautiful woman in the world. This turned her heart around. Her jealousy gave her no peace. Finally she summoned a huntsman and said to him, “Take Snow-White out into the woods to a remote spot, and stab her to death. As proof that she is dead bring her lungs and her liver back to me. I shall cook them with salt and eat them.”

The huntsman took Snow-White into the woods. When he took out his hunting knife to stab her, she began to cry, and begged fervently that he might spare her life, promising to run away into the woods and never return. The huntsman took pity on her because she was so beautiful, and he thought, “The wild animals will soon devour her anyway. I’m glad that I don’t have to kill her.” Just then a young boar came running by. He killed it, cut out its lungs and liver, and took them back to the queen as proof of Snow-White’s death. She cooked them with salt and ate them, supposing that she had eaten Snow-White’s lungs and liver.

Snow-White was now all alone in the great forest. She was terribly afraid, and began to run. She ran over sharp stones and through thorns the entire day. Finally, just as the sun was about to set, she came to a little house. The house belonged to seven dwarfs. They were working in a mine, and not at home. Snow-White went inside and found everything to be small, but neat and orderly. There was a little table with seven little plates, seven little spoons, seven little knives and forks, seven little mugs, and against the wall there were seven little beds, all freshly made.

Snow-White was hungry and thirsty, so she ate a few vegetables and a little bread from each little plate, and from each little glass she drank a drop of wine. Because she was so tired, she wanted to lie down and go to sleep. She tried each of the seven little beds, one after the other, but none felt right until she came to the seventh one, and she lay down in it and fell asleep.

When night came, the seven dwarfs returned home from the work. They lit their seven little candles, and saw that someone had been in their house.

The first one said, “Who has been sitting in my chair?”

The second one, “Who has been eating from my plate?”

The third one, “Who has been eating my bread?”

The fourth one, “Who has been eating my vegetables?”

The fifth one, “Who has been sticking with my fork?”

The sixth one, “Who has been cutting with my knife?”

The seventh one, “Who has been drinking from my mug?”

Then the first one said, “Who stepped on my bed?”

The second one, “And someone has been lying in my bed.”

And so forth until the seventh one, and when he looked at his bed, he found Snow-White lying there, fast asleep. The seven dwarfs all came running, and they cried out with amazement. They fetched their seven candles and looked at Snow-White. “Good heaven! Good heaven!” they cried. “She is so beautiful!” They liked her very much. They did not wake her up, but let her lie there in the bed. The seventh dwarf had to sleep with his companions, one hour with each one, and then the night was done.

When Snow-White woke up, they asked her who she was and how she had found her way to their house. She told them how her mother had tried to kill her, how the huntsman had spared her life, how she had run the entire day, finally coming to their house. The dwarfs pitied her and said, “If you will keep house for us, and cook, sew, make beds, wash, and knit, and keep everything clean and orderly, then you can stay here, and you’ll have everything that you want. We come home in the evening, and supper must be ready by then, but we spend the days digging for gold in the mine. You will be alone then. Watch out for the queen, and do not let anyone in.”

The queen thought that she was again the most beautiful woman in the land, and the next morning she stepped before the mirror and asked:

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who in this land is fairest of all?

The mirror answered once again:

You, my queen, are fair; it is true.
But Little Snow-White beyond the seven mountains
Is a thousand times fairer than you.

It startled the queen to hear this, and she knew that she had been deceived, that the huntsman had not killed Snow-White. Because only the seven dwarfs lived in the seven mountains, she knew at once that they must have rescued her. She began to plan immediately how she might kill her, because she would have no peace until the mirror once again said that she was the most beautiful woman in the land. At last she thought of something to do. She disguised herself as an old peddler woman and colored her face, so that no one would recognize her, and went to the dwarf’s house. Knocking on the door she called out, “Open up. Open up. I’m the old peddler woman with good wares for sale.”

Snow-White peered out the window, “What do you have?”

“Bodice laces, dear child,” said the old woman, and held one up. It was braided from yellow, red, and blue silk. “Would you like this one?”

“Oh, yes,” said Snow-White, thinking, “I can let the old woman come in. She means well.” She unbolted the door and bargained for the bodice laces.

“You are not laced up properly,” said the old woman. “Come here, I’ll do it better.” Snow-White stood before her, and she took hold of the laces and pulled them so tight that Snow-White could not breathe, and she fell down as if she were dead. Then the old woman was satisfied, and she went away.

Nightfall soon came, and the seven dwarfs returned home. They were horrified to find their dear Snow-White lying on the ground as if she were dead. They lifted her up and saw that she was laced up too tightly. They cut the bodice laces in two, and then she could breathe, and she came back to life. “It must have been the queen who tried to kill you,” they said. “Take care and do not let anyone in again.”

The queen asked her mirror:

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who in this land is fairest of all?

The mirror answered once again:

You, my queen, are fair; it is true.
But Little Snow-White with the seven dwarfs
Is a thousand times fairer than you.

She was so horrified that the blood all ran to her heart, because she knew that Snow-White had come back to life. Then for an entire day and a night she planned how she might catch her. She made a poisoned comb, disguised herself differently, and went out again. She knocked on the door, but Snow-White called out, “I am not allowed to let anyone in.”

Then she pulled out the comb, and when Snow-White saw how it glistened, and noted that the woman was a complete stranger, she opened the door, and bought the comb from her. “Come, let me comb your hair,” said the peddler woman. She had barely stuck the comb into Snow-White’s hair, before the girl fell down and was dead. “That will keep you lying there,” said the queen. And she went home with a light heart.

The dwarfs came home just in time. They saw what had happened and pulled the poisoned comb from her hair. Snow-White opened her eyes and came back to life. She promised the dwarfs not to let anyone in again.

The queen stepped before her mirror:

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who in this land is fairest of all?

The mirror answered:

You, my queen, are fair; it is true.
But Little Snow-White with the seven dwarfs
Is a thousand times fairer than you.

When the queen heard this, she shook and trembled with anger, “Snow-White will die, if it costs me my life!” Then she went into her most secret room — no one else was allowed inside — and she made a poisoned, poisoned apple. From the outside it was red and beautiful, and anyone who saw it would want it. Then she disguised herself as a peasant woman, went to the dwarfs’ house and knocked on the door.

Snow-White peeped out and said, “I’m not allowed to let anyone in. The dwarfs have forbidden it most severely.”

“If you don’t want to, I can’t force you,” said the peasant woman. “I am selling these apples, and I will give you one to taste.”

“No, I can’t accept anything. The dwarfs don’t want me to.”

“If you are afraid, then I will cut the apple in two and eat half of it. Here, you eat the half with the beautiful red cheek!” Now the apple had been so artfully made that only the red half was poisoned. When Snow-White saw that the peasant woman was eating part of the apple, her desire for it grew stronger, so she finally let the woman hand her the other half through the window. She bit into it, but she barely had the bite in her mouth when she fell to the ground dead.

The queen was happy, went home, and asked her mirror:

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who in this land is fairest of all?

And it answered:

You, my queen, are fairest of all.

“Now I’ll have some peace,” she said, “because once again I’m the most beautiful woman in the land. Snow-White will remain dead this time.”

That evening the dwarfs returned home from the mines. Snow-White was lying on the floor, and she was dead. They loosened her laces and looked in her hair for something poisonous, but nothing helped. They could not bring her back to life. They laid her on a bier, and all seven sat next to her and cried and cried for three days. They were going to bury her, but they saw that she remained fresh. She did not look at all like a dead person, and she still had beautiful red cheeks. They had a glass coffin made for her, and laid her inside, so that she could be seen easily. They wrote her name and her ancestry on it in gold letters, and one of them always stayed at home and kept watch over her.

Snow-White lay there in the coffin a long, long time, and she did not decay. She was still as white as snow and as red as blood, and if she had been able to open her eyes, they still would have been as black as ebony wood. She lay there as if she were asleep.

One day a young prince came to the dwarfs’ house and wanted shelter for the night. When he came into their parlor and saw Snow-White lying there in a glass coffin, illuminated so beautifully by seven little candles, he could not get enough of her beauty. He read the golden inscription and saw that she was the daughter of a king. He asked the dwarfs to sell him the coffin with the dead Snow-White, but they would not do this for any amount of gold. Then he asked them to give her to him, for he could not live without being able to see her, and he would keep her, and honor her as his most cherished thing on earth. Then the dwarfs took pity on him and gave him the coffin.

The prince had it carried to his castle, and had it placed in a room where he sat by it the whole day, never taking his eyes from it. Whenever he had to go out and was unable to see Snow-White, he became sad. And he could not eat a bite, unless the coffin was standing next to him. Now the servants who always had to carry the coffin to and fro became angry about this. One time one of them opened the coffin, lifted Snow-White upright, and said, “We are plagued the whole day long, just because of such a dead girl,” and he hit her in the back with his hand. Then the terrible piece of apple that she had bitten off came out of her throat, and Snow-White came back to life.

She walked up to the prince, who was beside himself with joy to see his beloved Snow-White alive. They sat down together at the table and ate with joy.

Their wedding was set for the next day, and Snow-White’s godless mother was invited as well. That morning she stepped before the mirror and said:

Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who in this land is fairest of all?
The mirror answered:
You, my queen, are fair; it is true.
But the young queen
Is a thousand times fairer than you.

She was horrified to hear this, and so overtaken with fear that she could not say anything. Still, her jealousy drove her to go to the wedding and see the young queen. When she arrived she saw that it was Snow-White. Then they put a pair of iron shoes into the fire until they glowed, and she had to put them on and dance in them. Her feet were terribly burned, and she could not stop until she had danced herself to death.
