A Hare And A Tortoise

A hare and a tortoise


Once, a hare and a tortoise were fast friends. They always lived together. Once the hare was in a good mood. He made fun of his heavy pace simply to tease him. The tortoise took it ill and challenged him to run a race. The swift-footed hare laughed at the challenge. He accepted it. The time, day, and track were fixed. On the appointed day they lined up at the starting point. One of them said, "One, two and three" and they started. The hare took a few hops and was soon far ahead of the tortoise. He lay under a cool, shady tree to rest and soon fell asleep. The tortoise walked on slowing steadily. The tortoise was near the winning post when the hare awoke. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him but in vain. The tortoise had reached the winning post before him. The hare was ashamed and never again made fun of his friend.

The Moral of the Story is:

Slow and steady wins the race.
Never be proud.
Pride hath a fall.
Overconfidence is harmful.
