One day, a hare made fun of a tortoise for being slow. The tortoise laughed and said, “I will win a race against you.” The hare didn’t believe it but agreed to run a race. They asked a fox to choose the path and set the finish line.

On the race day, both started at the same time. The tortoise kept moving slowly. The hare ran very fast. He thought the tortoise couldn’t catch up with him. So the hare fell asleep by the roadside. When he woke up, he ran as fast as he could. He saw the tortoise at the finish line.
