The tortoise and the hare

One day in a big forest, a hare ridiculed a tortoise that he had the short legs and slow pace.

When the tortoise heard that ridiculous words, he laughed and replied “I will beat you in a race, though you can run as fast as the wind.” “ ”

1The Hare believed in his speed and thought that it was simple impossible, so he assented to the proposal.

They agreed that the fox should choose the course and fix the destination.

On the day appointed for the race the hare and the tortoise started together at the course which the fox chose. The tortoise never stopped for a moment.

He went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the destination.

The hare ran faster than the tortoise, but when he nearly reached the end of the course he lay down carelessly by the wayside and fell fast asleep.
