The hare and the tortoise/Slow and steady wins the race.
One day a hare met a tortoise. She laughed at the tortoise and said, “You have as many legs as I have, but you can’t run as fast as i can. Perhaps, You can’t run at all.” The tortoise became very angry. He answered quietly. `You can run fast, no doubt, but I think you can talk even faster than you can run. However, I agree to run a five-mile race with you. At this the hare was much amused. So she said, “Come along, then. Let’s fix a date for the race.” The date was fixed and accordingly the race began. An ass came to see the race and to act as a mediator. The hare began to run very fast. She jumped and jumped. She ran a mile in a few minutes. Soon she found the tortoise far behind her. Then she stopped. She said to herself, “What’s the use of going so fast? Perhaps, the tortoise has passed only a few yards by this time. So I can have a good sleep before he comes up” Saying so, the hare went to sleep in a bush. In the meantime, the tortoise walked on and on. He did not stop anywhere. He came to the bush and saw the lazy hare fast asleep. He smiled and quietly passed by her. Many hours passed. The hare woke up. It was already evening. She began to run very fast. But alas! the tortoise had already gone far. The goal came in sight of the hare, but the tortoise had already crossed the winning post.
