The Hare and the Tortoise


In a forest lived a speedy hare who bragged about how fast
he could run. Tired of hearing him boast, a slow and steady
tortoise challenged him to a race. All the animals in the
forest gathered to watch.

Hare ran down the road for a while and then and paused to rest. He
looked back at the tortoise and cried out, "How do you expect to win
this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?"

The hare stretched himself out beside the road and fell asleep,
thinking, "There is plenty of time to relax."

Meanwhile, the tortoise kept going slowly but steadily. He never quit no
matter how hot or tired he got. He just kept going.

Eventually, the hare woke up and began to run again, but to his horror,
he saw the tortoise had almost reached the finish line. He ran as fast
as he could, but it was too late. The tortoise was
over the line.

Slow and steady wins the race.
