Title:
The hare and the tortoise
Once
there lived a hare in a jungle. A tortoise also lived nearby. One
day the hare insulted the tortoise for its slow pace. Then the
tortoise proposed her for a race.
They
started the running race. The hare ran very fast. Soon
she found the tortoise far behind her. Then she stopped
and planned for a good sleep thinking that the tortoise has covered
a few yards by this time. So saying, the hare went to sleep in a bush.
But the tortoise walked very slowly. He
did not stop anywhere. The tortoise found the hare lying fast
asleep.
Many hours later the hare woke up
and saw its evening. She began to run very fast. But alas!
The tortoise had already crossed the winning post.
At
last, the tortoise won the race. The
hare felt much ashamed.
Moral:
It is said that slow and steady wins the race.
