A Hare was making fun of the Tortoise one day for being so slow. Do you ever get

anywhere?" he asked with a mocking laugh.
"Yes," replied the Tortoise, "and I get there sooner than you think. I'll run you a race
and prove it
The Hare was much amused at the idea of running a race with the Tortoise, but for the
fun of the thing he agreed. So the Fox, who had consented to act as judge, marked
the distance and started the runners off. The Hare was soon far out of sight, and to
make the Tortoise feel very deeply how ridiculous it was for him to try a race with a
Hare, he lay down beside the course to take a nap until the Tortoise should catch up.
The Tortoise, meanwhile, kept going slowly but steadily, and, after a time, passed the
place where the Hare was sleeping. The Hare slept on very peacefully, and when at
last he did wake up, the Tortoise was near the goal. The Hare now ran his swiftest, but
he could not overtake the Tortoise in time.

Answer:

The hare is very confident of winning, so it stops during the race and falls asleep. The tortoise continues to move very slowly but without stopping and finally it wins the race. The moral lesson of the story is that you can be more successful by doing things slowly and steadily than by acting quickly and carelessly.
