Slow But Steady Wins
The Race There live in a forest a hare and a tortoise who are neighbours but never on friendly terms with each other . The hare is ever boastful and always laughs at the slow movement of the tortoise . He brags that he can run faster . One day they meet and the hare as usual starts talking about his neighbour's slow space . " Well , where are you going , Mr. Slow ? " says the Hare . The tortoise feels very much insulted and tells the hare to come on a race to prove who can run faster . The tortoise is firm in mind that he is going to win . The hare at once agrees . " Well , " says the hare , " Let's run then . " Their race starts . The hare goes far ahead . He stops curiously to look back how far behind the tortoise is . He finds none coming the way . He goes to rest a while and soon falls fast asleep .
The tortoise by this time moves slowly on and on with a firm determination . He goes past by the sleeping hare . Suddenly the hare wakes up and sees the tortoise nearing the line . He then runs as fast as he can but is too late to beat him . Now the tortoise touches the line and wins the race . Moral : Pride has a fall .
