Once upon a time. There were a Hare and a Tortoise. They were fast friends. The hare was proud of his speed. It laughed at the tortoise for his slow speed. One day the tortoise asked the hare to run a race. The hare laughed and accepted the challenge. They were to reach a bush near the river.
On the fixed day the race began. The hare ran very fast but the tortoise went on slowly. The tortoise was left far behind. It was a hot day. The hare wanted to take rest. It went under a tree and fell asleep. The tortoise did not stop. He went on. At about sunset the hare woke up and ran very fast. When it reached the bush, it saw the tortoise waiting for the hare. The tortoise , won the race. The hare was very sad.
Moral : Slow but steady wins the race.
