The Rabbit and the Turtle
One day a rabbit was boasting about how fast he could run. He was laughing at
the turtle for being so slow. Much to the rabbit's surprise, the turtle
challenged him to a race. The rabbit thought this was a good joke and accepted
the challenge. The fox was to be the umpire of the race. As the race began, the
rabbit raced way ahead of the turtle, just like everyone thought. The rabbit
got to the halfway point and could not see the turtle anywhere. He was hot and
tired and decided to stop and take a short nap. Even if the turtle passed him,
he would be able to race to the finish line ahead of him. All this time the
turtle kept walking step by step by step. He never quit no matter how hot or
tired he got. He just kept going. However, the rabbit slept longer than he had
thought and woke up. He could not see the turtle anywhere! He went at
full-speed to the finish line but found the turtle there waiting for him.
