The Rabbit and the Turtle

One day a rabbit was boasting about how fast he could run. He was laughing at the turtle for being
so slow.

Much to the rabbit’s surprise, the turtle challenged him to a race. The rabbit thought this was a good
joke and accepted the challenge. The fox was to be the umpire of the race. As the race began, the
rabbit raced way ahead of the turtle, just like everyone thought.

The rabbit got to the halfway point and could not see the turtle anywhere. He was hot and tired and
decided to stop and take a short nap. All this time the turtle kept walking step by step by step. He
never quit no matter how hot or tired he got. He just kept going.

However, the rabbit slept longer than he had thought and woke up. He could not see the turtle
anywhere! He went at full-speed to the finish line but found the turtle there waiting for him.
