The story is about a tortoise and a hare. The hare mocks the tortoise for being slow. The tortoise challenges the hare to a race. The hare agrees and quickly runs far ahead. Feeling confident, the hare decides to take a nap. Meanwhile, the tortoise continues steadily and eventually passes the sleeping hare. When the hare wakes up, he tries to catch up but it's too late. The tortoise wins the race and teaches the lesson that slow and steady wins the race. The Tortoise and the Hare There once was a tortoise and a hare. The hare was making fun of the tortoise one day for being so slow. Do you ever get anywhere? he asked with a mocking laugh. Yes, replied the tortoise. And I get there sooner than you think. I'll run you a race and prove it. The hare was much amused at the idea of running a race with the tortoise. But for the fun of the thing, he agreed. So the fox, who had consented to act as judge, marked the distance and started the runners off. On your mark, get set, go! The hare was soon far out of sight. And to make the tortoise feel very deeply how ridiculous it was for him to try a race with the hare, he lay down beside the course to take a nap until the tortoise should catch up. The tortoise, meanwhile, kept going slowly but steadily. And after a time, passed the place where the hare was sleeping. But the hare slept on very peacefully. And when at last he did wake up, the tortoise was near the goal. The hare now ran with quickness, but he could not overtake the tortoise in time. The hare was very embarrassed. But the tortoise said, Don't worry, friend. Just remember, slow and steady wins the race. Everyone cheered, and they all lived happily ever after.
