Once
there was a Hare who used to laugh scornfully at a Tortoise because he plodded
along so slowly. "You
never can get anywhere with those short legs of yours. Look at my long legs!
They're so swift no one would dare race me."
All
the animals of field and forest were tired of hearing the Hare brag. At
last the Tortoise said, "If we were to run a race, I'm sure I would
beat you."
