The story: A
certain hare was very proud of his speed running. He always laughed at the
slowness of a tortoise. At last it was fed up it with his insulting remarks.
One day it challenged him to have a race with it. The top of a distant hill was
fixed as the winning post, and the race began.
The hare ran as fast as he could.
Soon he left the tortoise far behind. But he felt a little tired and lay down
under a shady tree to have some rest. Before long he fell fast asleep. On the
other hand, the tortoise went on plodding slowly but steadily. After some time,
it passed by the here. It was pleased to see him sleeping soundly. It was
feeling dead tried, but its honor was at stake. It could not afford a moment’s
rest. It went on and on, till it reached the winning post.
When the hare woke up, he began to
run as before. He felt sure that he would win the race. But he was ashamed to
see the tortoise already sitting at the winning post.
