The Hare and the Tortoise

Once upon a time, there lived a hare in a forest. He was always proud of his motion. However, a tortoise also lived there. The hare used to tease the tortoise for its slow motion. One day, the hare was walking through the jungle. Suddenly, he saw the tortoise. It was moving very slowly. The hare laughed at it, saying, "Hurry up, you are too slow!" "Can't you move a little faster like me?" Hearing so, the tortoise felt very angry. Being angry, the tortoise said, "Why don’t we run a race and see who wins the race?" The hare laughed even more and said, "Why not?" "Let's start a race."

The next morning, they started their races. The hare ran so fast that the tortoise remained far behind. So, the rabbit looked back, but there was no trace of the tortoise at all. Then the hare thought that he might win this race. Hence, he takes a rest under a nearby tree. but unfortunately, he fell asleep soon. On the contrary, the tortoise ran slowly but steadily, and in a very short time, it passed by the sleeping hare. When the hare woke up from sleeping, he looked around and saw in surprise that the tortoise was near the finish line. So the hare ran as fast as he could to reach the line. But it was too late for him. The tortoise had already reached the finish line. The tortoise looked back at the bear and said smilingly, “See how the slow but steady wins the race!”
