Once upon a sunny day, in a green, grassy meadow, a tortoise and a hare decided to race.

The hare hopped fast, swift as a breeze, while the tortoise trudged slow, as steady as trees.

With a sudden zap, the hare dashed far ahead, leaving the tortoise far behind instead.

But as the sun started to dip, the hare decided to take a quick, rocky nap, and he was soon fast asleep, with a crunch and a snap.

Meanwhile, the tortoise trekked on with great glee, passing the hare who was snoring, as slow as could be.

Finally, the tortoise reached the finish line, and won the race with a joyful sign.

So remember, my dear, it's not always the fast, but the steady and determined that will make it last.
