Hare:

Oh, ho ho, it’s a deal!

Narrator:

With that, they shake hands. And Hare

falls back asleep.

Act 4

Narrator:

The sun rises the next morning. All the

animals wake up, except Hare.

Song: Are You Sleeping?

(Frère Jacques)

Hare:

Why are you fools singing? Can’t you see

that I’m sleeping? Don’t you understand

the importance of my beauty sleep?

Blue Jay:

Oh, don’t be mad!

Frog:

Yes, don’t be mad!

Tortoise:

It’s time for our race, Hare. Remember?

Hare:

Race smace. You don’t have a chance. I

only have to think about racing, and I can

beat you. Go away and let me sleep now.

I can win with my eyes closed.

Narrator:

And that’s just what Hare does. Hare

closes its eyes and goes back to sleep.

Blue Jay:

Oh, my. Hare stayed up too late last night.

Frog:

That’s true. Hare stayed up very late.

Narrator:

Just then, Porcupine arrives, slow as ever.

Porcupine:

Am I too late for the race? I came as fast

as I could.

Tortoise:

You are in plenty of time, friend. It is a

beautiful day. I am rested and ready to go.

Porcupine:

But where is Hare?
