The Tortoise And The Hare

A Hare was making fun of the Tortoise one day for being so  ADJECTIVE . "Do you ever get anywhere?" he asked with a(n)  ADJECTIVE laugh. "Yes," replied the Tortoise, "and I get there sooner than you  VERB . I'll  VERB you a race and prove it." The Hare was much  ADJECTIVE at the idea of  VERB ENDING IN ING a race with the Tortoise, but for the fun of the thing he agreed. So the  NOUN, who had consented to act as  NOUN,  PAST TENSE VERB the  NOUN and started the racers off. The Hare was soon far out of sight, and to make the Tortoise feel very  ADVERB how  ADJECTIVE it was for him to try a race with a Hare, he  PAST TENSE VERB beside the  NOUN to  VERB until the Tortoise should catch up. The Tortoise meanwhile kept going  ADVERB but  ADVERB , and, after a time, passed the place where the Hare was  VERB ENDING IN ING . But the Hare  PAST TENSE VERB very  ADVERB ; and when at last he did  VERB , the Tortoise was near the  NOUN. The Hare now  PAST TENSE VERB his swiftest, but he could not overtake the Tortoise in time.
