Once upon a time, a hare went to a pool to quench his thirst. As a matter of chance, he saw a slow moving tortoise over there and mocked at him. The tortoise felt pinched and challenged the hare for a race.

The hare accepted the challenge with a smile. The next morning they both met at the starting point and the race began. As expected, the hare went far ahead of the tortoise.

After covering more than half of the distance, if started feeling bored. As the tortoise was quite far behind, the hare thought of taking some rest. So if stopped and began to eat blades of grass. Having his had fill, he felt asleep. Nearby, if saw a shady bush and laid down under it.

As for the tortoise, he constantly moved along at puny pace and overtook the sleeping hare. He reached the destination point and won the race.

When the hare wolf up. It was fairly late. He feared that the tortoise might have passed him. So he ran at a break neck speed but reaching the destination point, has highly disappointed to find his rival already there as winner. This story therefore teaches up that, one who notes steadily, though slow, is never a looser, that's why we say, slow and steady wins the race.
