Story of the Tortoise and the Hare

Once upon a time there were a tortoise and a hare in a forest. One day the tortoise and the hare decided for a running competition. Accordingly, they had to fix a flag in the finishing line.

The race began. As the hare was faster, he, in a matter of a moment, left the tortoise far behind. However, the tortoise steadily ran. On the way he found the hare sleeping under a tree. The tortoise became very happy. He said to himself, ''It exactly happened like in Aesop's story. Now the hare has thought that I am so slow to win. So being over confident and lazy, he is sleeping. Now I have to reach the finish line before he wakes up.

The tortoise began to run as faster as he can. When he reached the destination he found the flag of the hare already fixed there.

By the way, when competition had begun, the hare really felt lazy on the way. As he had also read the Aesop's '' Story of the Tortoise and the Hare'', he ran faster, directly came to the finish line, fixed the flag and returned. While coming back he freely slept on the way.
