<p>A Hare was one day making fun of a Tortoise for being so slow
upon his feet. "Wait a bit," said the Tortoise; "I'll run a race
with you, and I'll wager that I win." "Oh, well," replied the Hare,
who was much amused at the idea, "let's try and see"; and it was
soon agreed that the fox should set a course for them, and be the
judge. When the time came both started off together, but the Hare
was soon so far ahead that he thought he might as well have a rest:
so down he lay and fell fast asleep. Meanwhile the Tortoise kept
plodding on, and in time reached the goal. At last the Hare woke up
with a start, and dashed on at his fastest, but only to find that
the Tortoise had already won the race.</p>
<p class="adage">Slow and steady wins the race.</p>
