Why Hare Hops

Hase ist einer der schnellsten Läufer in Tinga Tinga. Keiner will gegen ihn antreten. Keiner, außer der langsamen Schildkröte! Doch was die Tiere erst zum Lachen finden, sorgt bald für Erstaunen: Denn die Herausforderin schlägt den schnellen Hasen ein ums andere Mal. Und keiner ahnt warum.

You see there was a time when Hare did not hop. He was one of the speediest animals in Tinga Tinga but none of the other animals wanted to race with him because Hare always won and it was boring. Then one day, slow-but-clever Tortoise decided to challenge Hare. At first Hare could not believe his luck, but then Tortoise won and he won and he won. When Hare realised it is not such fun being on the losing end, Tortoise let him hop past the finishing line in first place.
