Tortoise and Hare: Slow & Steady Wins the Race

Tortoise and Hare: Slow & Steady Wins the Race, There was a hare who took pride in his speed and lived in a forest. He would frequently brag about how quickly he could run while making fun of slower creatures, particularly tortoises.

The tortoise, fed up with the hare’s conceit, challenged him to a race one day. Eager to demonstrate his prowess, the hare accepted the challenge despite laughing at the notion.

Every animal assembled to watch on the day of the race. The race started after the starting line was drawn. As predictable, the tortoise was left far behind as the hare ran off. The hare chose to rest behind a tree because he was sure he would prevail.

The turtle, meanwhile, kept moving methodically and relentlessly without pausing or turning around. He edged toward the finish line, one step at a time.

The tortoise was nearly finished when the hare eventually woke up. Though too late, he ran as swiftly as he could. The turtle had already won the race and reached the finish line.

The story’s lesson is that patience is key.
