slow and steady wins the race (Rabbet And Tourtise)

 

The race between the rabbit and the tortoise is a popular fable known as "The Tortoise and the Hare." It is attributed to Aesop, a Greek storyteller from ancient times. Here's a summary of the story:

Once upon a time, a hare (rabbit) and a tortoise (turtle) decided to have a race. The hare, known for its speed, was confident of winning and ridiculed the slow-moving tortoise. The tortoise, however, remained calm and accepted the challenge.

As the race began, the hare swiftly raced ahead, confident of victory. Along the way, he grew complacent and decided to take a nap, underestimating the tortoise's determination and persistence.

Meanwhile, the tortoise continued steadily, slow but steady, without stopping or getting distracted. As the hare slept, the tortoise slowly but steadily approached the finish line.

When the hare woke up and realized the tortoise was near the end, he rushed to catch up. However, it was too late. The tortoise crossed the finish line first, surprising everyone, including the hare.

The moral of the story is that "slow and steady wins the race." It teaches us the value of perseverance, consistency, and not underestimating others based on appearances or initial advantages.

"The Tortoise and the Hare" is a classic fable that has been retold in various cultures and continues to be a lesson in patience and determination.
