We launched the school project dubbed as May Pera

already rest. I thanked God because I learned many
things.

he got into trouble. He said to Carabao.
Let us live together. Let us hunt food together! We will be
happy in our friendship.

You slow foot! How dare you make this proposal. Live with
the ants and worms. But not with a powerful animal like me.
So, you do not want me for a friend. Who told you that you
are powerful? I bet you could not even win a race with me.
Carabao snorted and walked away. Turtle followed and nagged.
You cannot even race against me. You are a coward! I will
tell all the animals what a big coward you are.

Dont you do that! You want a race? A race you shall have!

Turtle took to his confidence his most trusted friends. He
gave instructions to his friends.
The day of the race came. At a given signal, Carabao and
Turtle ran. The two runners lost sight of each other. When
Carabao reached the second hill. Turtle was waving his arms at
him.

I am here a long time.
And at every hill, Carabao found Turtle relaxed and much
ahead of him. When Carabao reached the seventh hill, he saw
Turtle foolishly smiling. Carabao was so angry. He kicked
Turtle hard. And Carabao broke his hoof at the force of the
blow. Turtle was not hurt. His shell was strong.
