Tired of his boasting, the tortoise challenged him to a race. The hare, confident of his victory, agreed and they set off.As the race began, the hare quickly dashed ahead and decided to take a nap, certain that he would win easily. Meanwhile, the tortoise kept plodding along at a steady pace, never stopping.When the hare awoke, he realized the tortoise was close to the finish line. He sprinted as fast as he could, but it was too late. The tortoise crossed the finish line first.The moral of the story? Slow and steady wins the race.
