THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE
Once there lived a hare and a tortoise. The hare had the habit of mocking the slow pace of tortoise. The hare would say, "You lazy creature, how slowly you crawl !" The tortoise felt pinched one day and challenged the hare to a race. The hare accepted the challenge with a smile. He was sure of winning the race. The race started and the tortoise set off slowly but steadily. The hare started late and covered the distance that the tortoise had covered with a few jumps and even moved ahead of him. When he could not see the tortoise who was lagging behind, he thought of having a little rest. With this thought he started enjoying a nap. Meanwhile the tortoise reached the spot. He saw the hare sleeping and went on to complete the race. After some time the hare woke up and was surprised to find the tortoise already beyond the victory post. The tortoise won the race. The hare's pride brought about his downfall.
Moral:- Slow and steady wins the race.
