A Hare one day ridiculed the short feet and slow
pace of the Tortoise, who replied, laughing: "Though you be swift as the
wind, I will beat you in a race." The Hare, believing her assertion to be
simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should
choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two
started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with a
slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by
the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he
could, he saw the Tortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing
after her fatigue.
Slow but steady wins the race.
Slow but steady wins the race.
