In a sunny meadow, Rabbit bragged to all his friends, 'I'm the fastest runner ever!'

Tortoise said slowly, 'Speed isn't everything, Rabbit.'

Laughing, Rabbit challenged, 'Let's have a race then!'

Tortoise agreed. 'All right, Rabbit. We race tomorrow.'

The next day, animals lined up to watch the big event.

With a loud cheer, the race began. Rabbit dashed ahead!

Rabbit thought, 'I'm too fast! I'll rest and still win.'

Meanwhile, Tortoise kept walking, slow and steady.

When Rabbit woke, Tortoise was nearing the finish line!

Rabbit ran as fast as he could, but it was too late.

To everyone's surprise, Tortoise crossed the finish line first.

Tortoise said, 'Slow and steady wins the race', as Rabbit apologized for underestimating him.
