落后不是输 Lagging Behind Doesn’t Mean Lose

 When I was very small, I like to read the books with pictures, because I did not know the words. One day, I saw the interesting pictures in the book, I saw the turtle and the rabbit, but I did not know what it said, so I asked my mom. She told me that the turtle and the rabbit were racing¹, I said there was no doubt that the rabbit would win, but my mom smiled and said the turtle won at last because the rabbit was so confident and slept for a while and missed the time. I was shocked, I learned that lagging behind doesn’t mean lose, if we insist, we will have the chance to win.

在我还很小的时候，我喜欢看那些有图片的书，因为我还不认识字。有一天，我在一本书上看到了有趣的图片，我看到了乌龟和兔子，但是我不知道上面讲的是什么，因此我问妈妈。她告诉我乌龟和兔子正在比赛，我说肯定是兔子赢，但是妈妈笑笑，说乌龟最后赢了，因为兔子那么自信，睡了一会，错过了时间。我很震惊，我学到了落后并不意味着输，如果我们坚持，就有机会取得胜利。
