The tortoise and the hare

Once upon a time, there was an arrogant Hare. “Look at me!”, said the Hare. “I can run very fast”. The Tortoise was very confident and said, “you have long legs, and you can run fast, but I will win in a race.” The Hare looked at the Tortoise and laughed at his short legs and slow walk. The Hare thought this was a crazy idea, so she immediately accepted the challenge. 

When the race started, the Tortoise began a slow, steady walk, and didn’t stop for a moment until the finish line. The Hare ran fast, but thought she had lots of extra time, so she stopped to sleep under a tree. When the Hare woke up, she raced quickly to the end. However, the Tortoise had already finished. The hare lost the race despite her speed.
