Example of text:-
From `The tortoise and the hare`:-
`One day, the hare was boasting about how amazingly fast he could run. His friends just yawned.
They'd heard it all before.
The hare started to pick on the old tortoise.
"You're so slow, I'm surprised you ever get anywhere," he teased.
"I may be slow," replied the tortoise, "but, I bet I can reach the end of this field before you......'
And the hare wallows in the challenge, as the two set off at the badger's call.......but who wins?
What is the moral?
Super book!
