the tortoise and the hare

Once upon a time there was a very vain hare who spent all day bragging about how fast he could run.

Tired of always listening to her bragging, the tortoise challenged her to compete in a race.

-How funny you are, tortoise, you must be joking," said the hare as he laughed out loud.

-We'll see, hare, save your words until after the race," replied the tortoise.

The next day, the forest animals gathered to watch the race. They all wanted to see if the tortoise could actually beat the hare.

The bear started the race by shouting:

-On your marks, get set, go!

The hare immediately jumped ahead, ran and ran faster than ever. Then he looked back and saw that the tortoise was just a few steps behind the starting line.

-Slow and naive tortoise, thought the hare, "Why would he want to race if he has no chance of winning?

Confident that he was going to win the race, the hare decided to stop in the middle of the road to rest under a tree. The cool, pleasant shade of the tree was very relaxing, so much so that the hare fell asleep.

Meanwhile, the tortoise kept walking slowly but steadily. He was determined not to give up. Soon, he found the hare sleeping peacefully. The tortoise was winning the race!

As the tortoise neared the finish line, all the animals in the forest began to shout with excitement. The shouts woke up the hare, who could not believe her eyes: the tortoise was crossing the finish line and she had lost the race.

Moral: Have a good attitude and don't make fun of others. You can be more successful by doing things with consistency and discipline than by acting quickly and carelessly.
