    The Tortoise And The Hare
    Once upon a time a tortoise and a
    hare had an argument about who
    was faster.
    That¶s not true.
    The fastest runner is
    me!

    I¶m the fastest


    runner.
    They decided to settle
    the argument with a race.
    They agreed on a route Fine!
    and started off the race.

    Ok, let¶s have


    a race.
    The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for
    some time. Then seeing that he was far
    ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit
    under a tree for some time and relax
    before continuing the race.

    Poor guy! Even if I


    take a nap, he
    could not catch up
    with me.
    Ôe sat under the tree and soon fell asleep.
    The tortoise plodding on overtook
    him and soon finished the race,
    emerging as the undisputed champ.
    The hare woke up and realized that he'd
    lost the race.

    the race only because he I lose

    careless and lax. If he had
    not taken things for granted,
    there's no way the tortoise
    could have beaten him.
    So he challenged the
    tortoise to another race.
    The tortoise agreed. Ok.

    another race?
    This time, the hare went all
    out and ran without stopping

    The tortoise did some thinking

    The hare agreed.

    Sure!
    They started off. In keeping with
    his self-made commitment to be
    consistently fast, the hare took off
    and ran at top speed until he came
    to a broad river. The finishing
    line was a couple of kilometers Goal
    on the other side of the river.
    The hare sat there wondering what
    to do. In the meantime the tortoise
    trundled along, got into the river,
    swam to the opposite bank,
    continued walking and finished the
    race.

    The hare and the tortoise, by
    this time, had become pretty
    good friends and they did some
    thinking together. Both realized
    that the last race could have
    been run much better.
    So they decided to do the
    last race again, but to run
    as a team this time. Great! I think we
    could do it much
    better, if we two
    help each other.

    Ôi, buddy. Ôow


    about doing our last
    race again?
    They started off, and this time the
    hare carried the tortoise till the
    riverbank.
    There, the tortoise took over and
    swam across with the hare on his
    back.
    On the opposite bank, the hare
    again carried the tortoise and they
    reached the finishing line together.
    They both felt a greater sense of
    satisfaction than they'd felt earlier.

    There are more lessons to be learnt from this story.

    Note that neither the hare nor the tortoise gave up after failures.
    The hare decided to work harder and put in more effort after his
    failure. The tortoise changed his strategy because he was already
    working as hard as he could.
