A tortoise and a hare have a race. After the race begins, the
hare fools around and even stops to takes a nap, believing
he will be the sure winner. The tortoise, however, continues
to move slowly and steadily toward the finish line. Once
the hare realizes the tortoise is about to win, it is too late.
The tortoise wins, and the hare learns a valuable lesson
about the perils of overconfidence.
