13．　　There was once a rabbit who always bragged (吹嘘) about how fast he could run. Tired of hearing that, a tortoise decided to have a race with him. All the animals in the forest came to watch.
　　The rabbit ran down the road for a while and then stopped to rest. Looking back at the tortoise walking slowly, he lay down and fell asleep. The tortoise walked and walked, never ever stopping until he came to the finish line. The rabbit woke up, but it was too late. The tortoise had already crossed the finish line.
　　After losing the race, the rabbit realized that he had grown overconfident. He felt so regretful that he invited the tortoise to compete again. The tortoise agreed but asked to choose the terrain (地形) for the race. The tortoise knew in any traditional terrain, the rabbit would win, if he was fast and consistent. Therefore, he thought of a non-traditional terrain for the race.
　　When the race began, the rabbit was leading in front, with the tortoise far back walking slowly along. Around halfway through the race, they came across a river. The rabbit stopped on the bank of the river and didn't know how to cross it. When the tortoise came close to the river, he got into the water, swam across the river, and then finished the last few kilometers. The rabbit lost the race again.

But it was no less symbolic (象征性的)-symbolic of a shared future for humankind.
　　Besides, China wants to have a greener Winter Olympics. According to the Beijing 2022's idea of hosting a green Winter Olympic Games, the medal podiums (领奖台) are made of recyclable and environmentally friendly things. The handmade bouquets (花束), rather than real flowers, will be given to the winners. And all the Olympic venues (场馆) are being run on clean energy. And after the Games, they will be open for the public all year round. In the future, many high-level winter sports events will be held in these venues. Also, during the preparation for the Games, all the work was done in an environmentally friendly manner.
　　For China, holding a simple, safe and yet green Olympic Games is not just an idea. It is a way of life for every Chinese.
