Hare was always bragging about his speed to the other animals in the kingdom. One day he decided to show everyone that there was truth in his words. So, he challenged the Tortoise to a race.
When race day came, Hare darted out of sight immediately. Tortoise plodded along, never once thinking about giving up. Hare wanted to prove that he was a good sport. So, he lay down to take a nap. He woke up to see that Tortoise was very close to the finish line. Hare could never overtake Tortoise! Slow and steady had won the race!
