A proud hare used to make fun of a tortoise. "You move so slowly!" he would say. One day, when the tortoise could not bear the insults anymore, he challenged the hare to a race.
The hare laughed merrily, "You must be joking! All right, tomorrow morning, we'll race to the other side of the hill and see who reaches first."
The next day, early morning, the race race began. The hare raced ahead speedily. Seeing the tortoise far behind, he decided to rest for a while. Meanwhile , the tortoise continued to move slowly but steadily towards the goal. By the time the hare woke up, the tortoise had almost reached the finishing line. The hare ran as fast as he could, but the slow tortoise had won the race! The hare realised his mistake. SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE!!
