RABBIT AND TORTOISE

(Slow and steady wins the race.)

Once upon a time, there lived a rabbit and tortoise.

The rabbit could run fast. He was very proud of his speed. While the turtle was slow and
consistent. 

One day that tortoise came to meet him. The tortoise was walking very slow as usual. The
rabbit looked and laughed at him. 

The tortoise asked “what happened?”

The rabbit replied, “You walk so slowly! How can you survive like this?”. 
The turtle listened to everything and felt humiliated by the rabbit’s words. 

The tortoise replied, “Hey friend! You are very proud of your speed. Let’s have a race and
see who is faster”. 

The rabbit was surprised by the challenge of the tortoise. But he accepted the challenge.

The tortoise and rabbit started the race. The rabbit was very fast and went far away. While the
tortoise was left behind. 

After a while, the rabbit looked behind. 

The Rabbit said to himself, “The turtle will take time to cross me, i can take rest a bit.” 
The rabbit was tired from running fast and decided to take a nap.

He said to himself, “ I can win even if the tortoise passes me.”. With that thought, he slept
and lost the track of time.
Meanwhile, the slow and steady turtle kept on moving. Although he was tired, he didn’t rest.
Sometime later, he passed the rabbit when the rabbit was still sleeping. 

The rabbit suddenly woke up after sleeping for a long time. He saw that the tortoise was
about to cross the finishing line. 

He started running very fast with his full energy. But it was too late. 

The slow turtle had already touched the finishing line. He has already won the race. 

The rabbit was very disappointed with himself while the tortoise was very happy to win the race with
his slow speed.

Moral: Slow and steady wins the race.
