The Hare and the Tortoise

One day, the Hare, an animal like a rabbit, laughed at the short feet and slow speed of the Tortoise, an animal with a hard shell that lives on land.

The Tortoise laughed and replied,"You may be as fast as the wind, but I will beat you in a race."

The Hare thought this was impossible, so he agreed to race. They asked the Fox to choose the route and the finish line.

On the day of the race, they started together. The Tortoise moved slowly but kept going without stopping. The Hare lay down beside the path and fell asleep.

When he finally woke up, he ran as fast as he could. But the Tortoise had already reached the finish line. She was tired from the race and was now sleeping comfortably.

Slow but steady wins the race.
