THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE

    Once a hare met a tortoise. The hare laughed at the slow pace of the tortoise. He made fun of the tortoise's steps. "Enough of your boasting",said the tortoise, "I may be slow but I am steady. Let us get on with a race.

    The hare accepted the race with a smile. He was sure of winning the race.
The race was on one fine morning. The hare ran fast. He was much ahead of the  tortoise. He stopped to wait for the tortoise to come along. He waited long and Iay  down to rest. He soon fell asleep. But the tortoise moved on and on steadily without pause. He passed the sleeping  hare and neared the goal.
 
     The hare suddenly woke up and saw the tortoise ahead of him. He started  running as fast as he could. But he was too late to save the race. The tortoise had   touched the line.  
Moral: SLOW AND STEADY WIN THE RACE.
