One day a hare and a tortoise argued about who could run around a forest clearing faster. The tortoise sets off, and the hare lies under a bush, chuckling: “Hurry, hurry, tortoise, I’ll still overtake you.” But while he was having so much fun, the turtle, although walking quietly, turned out to be at the goal. The hare rushed after her, but it was too late.
He knew how to run, but he didn’t know that if he lay still, he could get behind a turtle.
