The Hare and the Tortoise

One day, a hare, an animal like a rabbit, mocked the short feet and slow pace of a tortoise, a land animal with a hard shell. Laughing, the tortoise replied,"Although you are as fast as the wind, I will beat you in a race."

Convinced that this was impossible, the hare accepted her proposal. They agreed that the Fox would choose the route and set the finish line.

On the agreed day, they started together. While the tortoise continued at a slow but steady pace without stopping, the hare lay down beside the path and fell fast asleep.

When he finally woke up, he ran as fast as he could, only to discover that the tortoise had already reached the finish line. Tired from the race, she was now sleeping comfortably.

Slow but steady wins the race.
