The Story of “Abe The Skating Hare”

On foot, Abe was the fastest hare alive. The only footrace he ever lost was that famous one to the tortoise, and Abe never again rested during a race. But because Abe was so fast, the other animals soon refused to race him. Without competition, Abe became lonely and bored. So Abe decided to find a way to race that was more fair. First Abe looked at the sky and thought about racing airplanes, but Abe looked across the bay and considered racing sailboats, but remembered that he couldn’t swim, and he was afraid of the water. Abe looked down the street and thought about racing cars, but race cars were so noisy that they hurt Abe’s large ears. Finally Abe noticed a girl gliding gracefully around the bay on skates and decided to try racing on roller skates.

At first, Abe fell down every time he tried to skate. But after lots of practice, Abe was skating all the way around the bay waving to his friends with his cotton tail bobbing up and down.

When Abe challenged Kate, the girl he had first seen on skates, to a race, Kate said, “Great!” It was the first really close race that Abe had been in, unless you count the time he went to sleep, but Kate crossed the finish line just ahead of Abe. You might think Abe was sad to lose another race, but he really felt quite glad. For Abe discovered that he had won the most wonderful prize of all. You see, Abe and Kate became best friends, and winning a friend is more important than winning a race any day.

Mrs. Bahr (our lightbulb lab teacher) posted this grid for extension thinking if you are looking for some fun extensions.
