Tumble Tales: The Tortoise And The Hare

Join Mr Tumble as he tells the tale of The Tortoise And The Hare.

There was a hare who loved to run and run and boast to all the other animals about how fast he was. But there was one animal who was the complete opposite of hare... tortoise. She would spend her days nestled asleep under a pile of leaves and was never bothered about how fast hare was. But one day she challenged the hare to a race, saying she could beat him. This stopped the hare in his tracks and fell over in laughter, saying he had never heard anything so funny. He accepted the race of course, but do you think tortoise will beat the hare? Listen to the Tumble Tale to find out.
