Terjemahan Teks:

Dahulu kala ada seekor Kelinci yang cepat yang selalu menyombongkan diri tentang seberapa cepat dia bisa berlari. Bosan mendengar bualannya, seekor Kura-kura yang lambat menantangnya untuk berlomba lari. Semua hewan di hutan berkumpul untuk menonton. Perlombaan dimulai, dan Kelinci dengan mudah berlari jauh di depan. Merasa sangat percaya diri, Kelinci memutuskan untuk berhenti dan tidur siang sejenak di bawah pohon yang rindang dekat garis finish, berpikir, "Kura-kura itu sangat lambat, aku bisa tidur dan tetap menang dengan mudah."

Sementara itu, Kura-kura tidak pernah berhenti berjalan. Dia mengambil satu langkah lambat demi langkah lainnya, bergerak maju dengan mantap. Saat Kelinci sedang tertidur lelap, Kura-kura diam-diam melewatinya. Ketika Kelinci akhirnya terbangun, dia melihat sekeliling dan melihat Kura-kura sudah berada beberapa inci saja dari garis finish. Kelinci berlari secepat yang dia bisa, tetapi semuanya sudah terlambat. Kura-kura melewati garis lebih dulu dan memenangkan perlombaan.

Read the text below to answer questions 21 to 30!

Mother Duck was waiting for her eggs to hatch. One by one, five little yellow ducklings came out. However, the last egg was very large, and when it hatched, out came a big, grey, and ugly duckling. His brothers and sisters laughed at him and refused to play with him. They called him "The Ugly Duckling." Feeling lonely and miserable, the poor duckling decided to run away from the farm.

He wandered through the cold winter alone, facing many difficulties. No one wanted to be his friend because of his appearance. When spring arrived, he saw a pond with beautiful white birds swimming gracefully. He felt ashamed and bowed his head to the water.

To his amazement, he saw his own reflection in the clear water. He was no longer a grey, ugly bird. He had grown into a beautiful, elegant white Swan. The other swans welcomed him warmly, and he finally found where he truly belonged.
