One day a hare met a tortoise .
He made fun the slow pace of the
tortoise and said , “you have as many lags as I have . But am sure that you can not run as fast as I am . Most
probably you can not run at all .” The
tortose became very angry . He answered quietly , “ You can run quite fast ,no
doubt. But I think you
can talk even faster than you can run .” Then the tortoise made a
proposal to run a race with the hare .
The hare agreed to the proposal gladly
.On a nice morning the race began .Other
beasts of the forest were invited to watch the race . After running for a while , the hare reached near the goal .
He wanted to have a little rest
and feel asleep . But the
tortorise continued running . He came near the sleeping hare and ran fast him.
When the hare woke up ,he tried to catch the tortoise but failed
. Winning the race the tortoise became very happy and the hare ashamed of his
proud speech . It proves, “ slow and steady wons the race.
