Stories for my grandchildren: The hare and the tortoise

Today, another fable with its moral; The Hare and the Tortoise (la liebre y la tortuga) (hare is generically referred to in English as masculine, so he is used in the story when it is mentioned).
You'll notice the following spelling mistakes in the subtitles, which should be corrected:
