The Hare and the Tortoise
A hare, one day, mocked the short feet and slow pace of the
Tortoise, who replied:
“As swift as you may be, I will beat you in a race."
The Hare took this as a joke and agreed with the proposal, just for
fun. On the day appointed for the race the two started together.
The Tortoise didn't stop or even slow down once, but went on with
a steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, thinking
he had time enough, took a nap under a tree. At last, waking up and
running as fast as he could, he tried to catch up with the tortoise,
but it was too late. The tortoise had already won the race!
