Q 9- Read the following fable and answer the question given below

The Tortoise and the Hare

A Hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. "I have never yet
been beaten," said he, "when I put forth my full speed. I challenge anyone here to
race with me."

The Tortoise said quietly, "I accept your challenge."

"That is a good joke," said the Hare; "I could dance round you all the way."

"Keep your boasting till you've won," answered the Tortoise. "Shall we start?"

So a course was fixed and a start was made. The Hare darted almost out of sight at
once, but soon, seeing how slow the Tortoise was, he thought he'd lie down for a rest,
and that he could easily overtake the Tortoise later.

Meanwhile, the Tortoise kept going steadily, and after a time passed the place where
the Hare was sleeping. But the Hare slept on very soundly, and when at last he did
wake up, the Tortoise was near the winning-post. The Hare now ran his best, but it was
too late. The Tortoise had won the race.

Question :

Imagine you just read "The Tortoise and the Hare." If you were telling this story to a
friend who had never heard it before, how would you explain what happened in your
own words? What's the main lesson or moral of the story?
