| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Peace Out. |
| 0:20.0 | Stories for calming down and relaxation. |
| 0:23.0 | My name is Chanel. |
| 0:27.5 | We have a short story today, and it might be one that you already know. I want to thank |
| 0:32.6 | Peace Out listeners Alyssa, H9, and Kira, H5, for suggesting a relaxation story based |
| 0:40.2 | on the tortoise and the hare. I'm told that they enjoy listening and relaxing to our stories every evening at home. |

| 3:20.6 | The hair was sure that he'd have no trouble winning because he was so fast. |
| 3:26.1 | The tortoise thought she had a good chance of winning too, because even though she was |
| 3:30.3 | slow, she never gave up. |
