The Tortoise and Fable the Hare
• The Hare was once boasting of his speed before the other animals. "I have
never yet been beaten," said he, "when I put forth my full speed. I
challenge any one here to race with me."
"That is a good joke," said the Hare; "I could dance round you all the
way."
"Keep your boasting till you've beaten," answered the Tortoise. "Shall we
race?"
So a course was fixed and a start was made. The Hare darted almost out of
sight at once, but soon stopped and, to show his contempt for the Tortoise,
lay down to have a nap. The Tortoise plodded on and plodded on, and
when the Hare awoke from his nap, he saw the Tortoise just near the
winning-post and could not run up in time to save the race.
• Then said the Tortoise: Slow and steady wins the race.
