The Hare and the Tortoise
The Hare was once bragging about his speed to the other animals. "I have never yet been beaten," said he, "when I run as fast as I can. No creature can beat me.
The Tortoise said quietly, "I accept your challenge."
"That is a good joke," said the Hare. "I could run circles around you the whole way.”
“Don't brag until after you've won,” said the Tortoise. “Can we start?
So they set a path for the race and drew a starting line in the dirt. As soon as the race started, the Hare darted almost out of sight, dashing ahead. But soon he stopped and, to show how confident he was of winning, lay down to have a nap. The Tortoise just plodded on and plodded on, moving slowly but surely, and when the Hare awoke from his nap, he saw the Tortoise just near the finish line and could not run up in time to save the race.
