Learn Chinese with Stories | The Tortoise and the Hare | Chinese Story for Beginners (Eng Sub)

Watch each scene in English first, then the same scene again in Chinese. The Chinese scenes show English subtitles underneath, so you can follow along and match the meaning. After every scene, a Word Time card teaches key Chinese words — meaning, pronunciation and an example sentence. A fun way to practice Chinese listening with a story — for kids and beginners. (about 10 min) In a hill village full of olive trees, Zippy the rabbit boasts that he's the fastest animal in the world, and challenges slow, kind Grandpa Tortoise to a race. While Zippy eats a carrot, does yoga and takes a nap, Grandpa Tortoise keeps walking, one step at a time, right past him. Zippy wakes up, rushes off in a panic, slips into a stream and hurts his leg. "Everyone only clapped for me when I was winning…" he cries. Right in front of the finish line, Grandpa Tortoise stops — and walks all the way back. "A friend matters more than a race." At sunset, the two friends cross the line together, and everyone cheers.
