The Tortoise and the Rabbit

One day, there was the Rabbit which was once boasting of his speed before the
other animals. “I have never been beaten,” he said arrogantly, “if i run with my full
speed. I challenge everyone here to against me in a racing.”

The Tortoise replied quietly, “I will accept your challenge.”

“is that a joke?” said the Rabbit again; “I could dance round you all the way from
the start to the finish spot.”

“Keep your boasting till you win,” the Tortoise answered. “Shall we start?”

So a course was agreed and a starting point was made. at once The Rabbit darted
almost out of sight, but soon he stopped and to show his contempt for the
Tortoise, he lay down to have a nap soundly. The Tortoise plodded on and
plodded on as the time going, and when the Rabbit awoke from his nap, he was
shocked to see the Tortoise just near the winning-post and could not run up in
time to save the race.

Then the Tortoise said: “Slow but steady process will win the race.”
