A HARE AND A TORTOISE

Once there were a hare and a tortoise in a certain place. A hare is a speedy animal. So it felt proud. It always blamed the tortoise for its slowness. One day the hare invited the tortoise to run a race. The tortoise accepted the invitation.

All the animals of the jungle came to see the race. The race started. The hare ran very fast and was far ahead of the tortoise. He looked back and saw the tortoise lagging far behind. He thought, “ The tortoise is too slow. He will take a long time to reach here. Let me have some rest.” So, he lay down in the shade of a tree. He fell asleep But tortoise ran on and on. He never looked back. He began to run slowly but steadily. Soon he was about to reach the destination. All on a sudden the hare woke up and saw that the tortoise was about to reach the destination. The hare began to run as fast as he could. But  he could not overtake the tortoise. The tortoise had already reached the destination.

From the above story we can say that slow and steady wins the race.

Moral: Slow and steady wins the race.
