Once a hare made fun of tortoise for his slow walk. Listening to this, tortoise challenged hare for a race.

Hare laughed and said, “You must be joking.. But all right..!! I accept your challenge. Tomorrow we will have race.”

Next day, both reached at decided place. At starting point, both stood.

As soon as race started, hare ran off, leaving tortoise far behind. After running for a while hare stopped and started looking for tortoise.

Hare waited for awhile but not seeing tortoise in sight, he sat below a tree and felt sleepy, “I might as well take a nap.”

He thought even if tortoise catch up to him, he can easily win this race and fell asleep.

Slowly tortoise slowly reached there and passed by sleeping hare. Tortoise walked on slowly and steadily.

By the time hare woke up, tortoise was near finish line. He ran as fast as he could but couldn’t catch up with tortoise and lost the race.

Moral:
Slow and Steady can Win the Race.
