The Rabbit and the Turtle

One day a rabbit was boasting about how fast he could run. He was laughing at the turtle for being so slow. Much to the rabbit’s surprise, the turtle challenged him to a race. The rabbit thought this was a good joke and  accepted the challenge. The fox was to be the umpire of the race.

As the race began, the rabbit raced way ahead of the turtle, just like everyone thought. After an hour, the rabbit got to the halfway point and could not see the turtle anywhere. He was hot and tired and decided to stop and take a short nap. All this time the turtle kept walking step by step by step. He never quit no matter how hot or tired he got. He just kept going.

However, the rabbit slept for three hours and wake up. He could not see the turtle anywhere! He went at full-speed to the finish line but found the turtle there waiting for him.
