One day, there was the Hare which was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. “I have never been beaten,” he said arrogantly, “if i run with my full speed. I challenge everyone here to against me in a racing.”
The Tortoise replied quietly, “I will accept your challenge.”
“is that a joke?” said the Hare again; “I could dance round you all the way from the start to the finish spot.”
“Keep your boasting till you win,” the Tortoise answered. “Shall we start?”
So a course was agreed and a starting point was made. at once The Hare darted almost out of sight, but soon he stopped and to show his contempt for the Tortoise, he lay down to have a nap soundly. The Tortoise plodded on and plodded on as the time going, and when the Hare awoke from his nap, he was shocked to see the Tortoise just near the winning-post and could not run up in time to save the race.
Then the Tortoise said: “Slow but steady process will win the race.”
