A Hare was ridiculing the Tortoise one day for being at such a leisurely pace.
"At any point do you go anyplace?" he asked with a taunting giggle.
"Indeed," answered the Tortoise, "and I arrive sooner than you suspect. I'll run you a race and demonstrate it."
The Hare was greatly entertained at running a race with the Tortoise, yet for the fun of what, he concurred. So the Fox, who had agreed to go about as judge, denoted the distance and got the sprinters going.
The Hare was soon far carefully concealed, and to cause the Tortoise to feel profoundly how absurd it was for him to attempt a race with a Hare, he set down adjacent to the course to sleep until the Tortoise ought to get up to speed.
The Tortoise, in the interim, continued to go gradually yet consistently and, after a period, passed where the Hare was dozing. Yet, the Hare dozed on calmly; and when finally he woke up, the Tortoise was close to the objective. The Hare currently ran his swiftest, yet he could not surpass the Tortoise on schedule.
