are together.

The tortoise became very angry at the hare's comment and said, "My friend, perhaps you are very proud of your speediness but still I challenge you to  have a race with me and then we will see  that who will be the winner. The squirrel was sitting right next to both of them. When she heard their conversation she spoke to the tortoise "Mr. Tortoise It would be better if you do not challenge the hare. You move very slow and the hare hops very fast. "But the tortoise did not  listen to the squirrel and said," No, today we will definitely have this race. The squirrel replied. "Alright if you insist I have no objection about it."So with the help of squirrel both the hare and the tortoise marked the starting and the finishing line for the race and asked the squirrel to become the judge.

he reached quite far from the tortoise.
