Short Moral Story
A confident hare naps mid-race while a slow tortoise keeps walking.
The hare boasted that no one could beat him in a race, so the tortoise quietly accepted the challenge.
The hare shot ahead and, sure he had time to spare, curled up under a tree for a nap.
The tortoise never stopped walking. When the hare woke, the tortoise was already crossing the finish line.
