Slow And Steady Wins the Race


SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE
PRIDE HATH A FALL
DON'T MAKE FUN OF OTHER

Once a hare and a tortoise were fast friends. They always lived together. One day the hare was in a good mood. He said to the tortoise, "I can run faster than you. You are a very slow animal”. The tortoise took it ill and challenged him to run a race. The hare laughed and accepted it. He was proud of his running speed Day, time, and the track were fixed. On the appointed day the race began. The hare ran very fast. He left the tortoise for behind. He was quite sure that he would win the race. He, therefore, decided to have a little rest. He lay down under a tree and soon went to sleep. The tortoise walked on slowly but steadily. He passed the sleeping hare and soon reached near the winning post. After some time the hare woke up. He ran as fast as he could, but it was too late. When he reached there, he found that the tortoise had already reached there. The hare was ashamed and never again made fun of his friend.
