The Hare and the Tortoise
The hare was once boasting of his speed before other animals. “I have never yet been
beaten,’ said he. “ When I put forth my full speed. I challenge anyone here to race with me.”
The Tortoise said quietly: “I accept your challenge “.
“That is a good joke”, said Hare: “I could dance around you all the way.”
“Keep your boasting till you’ve beaten me.” Answered the Tortoise. “Shall we race?”
So a course was fixed and a start was made. The hare darted almost out of sight at once,
but soon stopped and to show his contempt for the tortoise, lay down to have a nap.
The tortoise plodded on and plodded on, and when the hare awoke from his nap, he saw
the tortoise just near the winning post and could not run up in time to save the race. Then said
the tortoise ‘Plodding wins the race’.
