I've got my binoculars, check.

0:33:060:33:09

And I've got my telescope, check.

0:33:090:33:14

Oh! Hello.

0:33:140:33:15

I'm Anna.

0:33:150:33:17

I'm just getting my commentator's kit ready for the big race tonight.

0:33:170:33:22

I have my microphone, my binoculars,

0:33:220:33:25

and my telescope.

0:33:250:33:27

Just in case the athletes are too far away for me to see them.

0:33:270:33:31

Well, when I say athletes, I'm not sure you'd say they're both athletes.

0:33:310:33:36

But you should really decide for yourselves

0:33:360:33:39

when you hear about the most exciting race in tonight's story.

0:33:390:33:43

It's by Preston Rutt and Ben Redlich

0:33:430:33:45

and it's called Tortoise V Hare - The Rematch.

0:33:450:33:49

Good evening. I'm Johnny Fox. Welcome to Race Night Live.

Let's look back on an astounding week.

0:34:340:34:38

On Monday our runners arrived and what a scorcher!

0:34:380:34:42

The sun was so hot the tortoise didn't train.

0:34:420:34:45

Hare shadowed-boxed all day and, boy, was he strong as an ox?

0:34:450:34:48

On Tuesday, we woke up to a wicked wind.

0:34:480:34:50

It was so blustery Tortoise didn't train.

0:34:500:34:52

Hare chased leaves in the gale and he was as fast as a cheetah.

0:34:520:34:57

On Wednesday, it rained cats and dogs.

0:34:570:34:59

It was so dreadful Tortoise didn't train.

0:34:590:35:01

Hare swam widths of the wide, wild river.

0:35:010:35:05

Boy, was he menacing as a shark?

0:35:050:35:07

On Thursday, the hail hammered down.

0:35:070:35:10

The hailstones were so huge that Tortoise didn't train.

0:35:100:35:13

Hare played golf with the balls of ice.

0:35:130:35:16

Boy, was he powerful as a tiger?

0:35:160:35:18

On Friday, it blew a blizzard.

0:35:180:35:21

The wind was so wild, the air so cold and the snow so thick

0:35:210:35:24

that Tortoise didn't train...at all.

0:35:240:35:27

Hare trained harder than ever. He raced, chased, swam

0:35:270:35:31

and ran and, boy, was he fit as an Arctic fox?

0:35:310:35:34

Now, it's Saturday night, it's time. Time to start the stopwatches.

0:35:340:35:40

Time to learn who's champ and who's the chump.

0:35:400:35:42

Time for Tortoise V Hare, the rematch to begin.

0:35:420:35:46

Over to you, Cat Freeman at trackside.

0:35:460:35:48

Thanks, Johnny. I'm here with Hare and Tortoise.

0:35:480:35:51

Hare, you've been training hard. Can you win back your crown?

0:35:510:35:56

I'm good. Just too good for the wood.

0:35:560:35:59

I'll make Tortoise look like a Christmas pud.

0:35:590:36:02

Only one runner should rule this neighbourhood, understood?

0:36:020:36:05

Thank you, Hare. Tortoise, what do you say to that?

0:36:050:36:09

Well...

0:36:110:36:14

Sorry, Tortoise, I'll have to stop you there.

0:36:140:36:17

The race is about to start. Back to the studio.

0:36:170:36:20

Thanks, Cat. I'm Johnny Fox and we are ready, steady, go! They're off.

0:36:200:36:27

Hare's away. Tortoise is still at home.

0:36:270:36:30

Hare is so fast and Tortoise is so slow.

0:36:300:36:34

Wow! Watch Hare go!

0:36:340:36:37

And Tortoise is finally, um...

0:36:370:36:40

into his...stride.

0:36:400:36:42

Oops a daisy. CROWD GROANS

0:36:420:36:46

But wait!

0:36:460:36:47

I don't believe it!

0:36:470:36:49

Tortoise has turned this race upside down.

0:36:510:36:54

Here comes the finish line and it's so close.

0:36:540:36:56

Go! Go! Go!

0:36:560:36:58

Go crazy, folks.

0:36:580:37:01

We have a winner.

0:37:010:37:02

Incredible.

0:37:020:37:04

Tortoise has beaten Hare

0:37:040:37:07

by a hair!

0:37:070:37:09

He's still the undisputed, undefeated champion of the wood.

0:37:090:37:13

The crowd's gone wild.

0:37:130:37:16

Phew! I don't know about you, but after that excitement

0:37:160:37:20

I think I need to sleep.

0:37:200:37:22

I've been Johnny Fox, you've been an amazing audience.

0:37:220:37:25

Thank you and goodnight.

0:37:250:37:27

Um, I said goodnight.

0:37:270:37:30

Excitement over.

0:37:300:37:32

Close your eyes now, please.

0:37:320:37:36

Thank you.

0:37:360:37:38

Goodnight.

0:37:380:37:39

That story was called Tortoise V Hare - The Rematch.

0:37:390:37:44

It really is time for us to let Johnny get some sleep.

0:37:440:37:48

As it's also time for you to go to bed.

0:37:480:37:51

I'll see you soon for another story.

0:37:510:37:53

Night, night.

0:37:530:37:55

Now, I think I need to see a replay of that race.

0:37:550:37:59

I just can't believe that Tortoise is still the champion.

0:37:590:38:03

Where's the remote?
