A STORY ABOUT A TORTOISE AND A HARE

A STORY ABOUT A TORTOISE AND A HARE


Once upon a time, a hare went to a pool to quench his thirst. As a
matter of chance, he saw a slow- moving tortoise over there and mocked
at him. The tortoise felt pinched and challenged the Hare for a race.

The Hare accepted the challenge with a smile. The next morning, they
both met at the starting point and the race began. As expected, the
hare went far ahead of the Tortoise.

After covering half of the distance, he started feeling bored. As the
tortoise was quite far behind, the Hare taught of taking some rest. So
he stopped and began eating blades of green grass. Having his head
feel, he felt asleep. Nearby, he saw a shady and lay down under it.

As for the tortoise, he constantly moved along at his slow space and
overtook the sleeping hare. He reached the destination point and won
the race.

When the hare awoke, it was fairly late. He feared that the tortoise
might have passed by him. So he ran at a breakneck spaced but
reaching the destination point, was highly disappointed to find his
rival already there as a winner.

This story, therefore, teaches us that, one who moves steadily though
slow, Is never a looser. That's why we say, slow and steady, wins the
race.
