Answer:
1. The title tells the reader that the story will most likely involve both a tortoise and a hare in its plot.
2. The story takes place in a forest.
3. After the Tortoise asks Hare for a race, Hare is amused by his suggestion and laughs to show his confidence.
4. Hare's laughter, nonchalant attitude toward the race, and mockery of Tortoise are all evidence of his over-confidence.
5. In his next race, Hare will probably refrain from under-estimating his opponent and keep his focus on the task at hand, rather than taking breaks to nap.
6. The moral of the story can be summarized in the sentence spoken by Tortoise: "You may be faster, but I won the race."
7. This story would be considered a fable because it is fiction, short in length, and a lesson is taught.
8. The moral of the story is "slow and steady wins the race." No matter your physical ability, you can achieve your goals through hard work and determination.
