Once there lived a hare in a forest. He was always proud of speed. A tortoise also lived there. The hare always teased the tortoise for its slow speed. One day, the hare was walking. Suddenly, he saw the tortoise. It was moving very slowly. He laughed at it saying, “Hurry up, you are so slow! Can’t you move a little faster?” The tortoise felt angry and said, “What don’t we run a race and see who wins?” The here laughed even more and said, “Why not? Let’s do that.” the next morning, they started their race. The hare ran so fast that the tortoise remained far behind. He looked back, but there was no trace of the tortoise. The hare was sure of his victory, and hence, he sat under a tree to take rest, but unfortunately, he fell asleep. On the other hand, the tortoise ran slowly but steadily, and in a short time, it passed by the sleeping hare. When the hare woke up, he looked around and saw in surprise that the tortoise was near the finishing line. He ran as fast as he could, but it was too late. The tortoise had reached the finishing line. The tortoise looked back at the hare and said smilingly, “See how the slow but steady wins the race!”

Crossing almost half of the distance he looked back. There was no sign of the tortoise around. The hare smiled and said to himself, “I am really a fool. Why should I run so fast in the hot sun with the slow, old tortoise? I will start again when the tortoise will catch up. Before that, I will have a rest.” So, he lay down to have a little tired, he soon fell asleep (ঘুমন্ত). The tortoise, on the other hand, went along his slow but steady way. He never stopped nor looked back and at last, passed the proud here and reached the finishing spot well ahead of the hare. The hare not knowing when he fell asleep, awoke with a start and looking back he found no sign of the tortoise. Still satisfied with himself he started running.
