The Hare and the Tortoise

There once was a speedy Hare who bragged about how fast it could run. Tired of hearing its boast, the Tortoise challenged it to a race. All the animals in the forest gathered to watch.

The Hare ran down the road for a while and then and paused to rest. It looked back at the tortoise and cried out, "How do you expect to win this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?"
The Hare stretched itself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking, "There is plenty of time to relax."
The Tortoise walked and walked; never ever stopping until it came to the finish line.
The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for Tortoise, that they woke up Hare. The Hare stretched and yawned and began to run again, but it was too late. Tortoise was already over the line.
