One day a quick footed Hare was making fun of a slow moving Tortoise. Much to Hare’s surprise, the Tortoise began to laugh. “I challenge you to a race” said the Tortoise, ” and I bet that I will win.” “Very well,” said the hare, “I will dance dings around you all the way.” It was soon agreed that the fox would set the course and be the judge. The race began and the Hare ran so quickly that he soon left the Tortoise for behind. Once he reached the middle of the course, the Hare decided to take a nap. While the hare slept, the Tortoise plodded on and on, straight toward the finish line. When the Hare awoke from his nap, he was surprised that the Tortoise was nowhere in sight. Racing to the finish line as fast as he could, the Hare was shocked to find the Tortoise waiting for him with a smile on his face.

Moral: Slow and steady wins the race.
