The race began, and the hare shot far ahead. Sure he would win easily, he decided to take a nap under a tree. Meanwhile, the tortoise kept moving slowly but steadily, never stopping.
When the hare woke up, he saw the tortoise near the finish line. He ran as fast as he could, but it was too late. The steady tortoise had already won the race.
