You should read it and find where something has accidentally been

WORDS
There once was a speedy hare who bragged
about how many carrots he could eat. Tired of
hearing him boast, Slow and Steady, the
tortoise, challenged him to a biking race to
decide who was better. All the animals in the
forest came together to cheer for Hare.
Hare was warming up for a
while and then paused to
rest. He looked back at Slow
and Steady Tortoise and
cried out, "How do you
expect to become an
astronaut when you are
walking along soo slowly?"
Hare laid down by the road,
thinking, "There is plenty of time to do my
homework for tomorrow." A moment later he
was busy solving algebra problems.
Slow and Steady just walked and walked. He
stopped just once before he came to the finish
line, to chat with a former sweetheart who was
cheering for him.
The animals who were watching cheered so
loudly for Tortoise, they woke up Hare.

Hare stretched and yawned
and tried to get a taxi, but it
was too late. Tortoise was
over the finish line.

reminded himself, "Don't
