| A Hare one day laughed at the small feet and slow pace of the Tortoise. The tortoise grinned.“You may be swift as the wind,
but I will beat you in a race.” “Simply impossible,” laughed the Hare and agreed to a race. On the day of the race the two started out together. The Tortoise never stopped for even a moment but went on with a slow but steady pace, strait to the end of the course.
The Hare meanwhile, lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise had crossed the finish line, and she was basking comfortably in the sunshine. |
Slow but steady wins the race!
