The Rabbit and the Tortoise

Once upon a time, in a lush green forest, lived a quick rabbit and a slow tortoise. The rabbit was proud of his speed and loved to boast about it. One sunny morning, the rabbit challenged the tortoise to a race. Everyone in the forest gathered to watch the unusual match.

Meanwhile, the tortoise kept moving slowly but surely. He didn’t stop or look back. He was determined to finish the race, no matter what. Slowly, he passed the sleeping rabbit, blissfully unaware of what was happening.

The rabbit was shocked and embarrassed. He realized that boasting about his speed didn't matter if he didn't put in the effort. He learned a valuable lesson that day, one he would never forget.
