HARE AND TORTOISE

WE ALL KNOW SOME TALES WHICH WE READ OR HEARD IN OUR YOUNG DAYS SOME ARE FORGOTTEN AND SOME REMAIN AS TRACES  .this is an attempt to recall a few or them. we know that once there was a debate between the two a hare and a tortoise to adjudge who was more wise or mightier. so they had abet to contest a running race,who ever reached the assigned target first would win . the fox was made the umpire to start the race and end the same.with a blow of wishle the match started the hare which is know for its speed was way ahead of the tortise, so thou of relaxing and retired for some rest under a bush. the tortoise knowing its capabilities was troddling slowly but steadly towards its target alas.when it reached the spot it was surprised to see the fox declaring it to be the winner, the hare after a good nap ,resumed its  run but was taken aback to see the tortoise as winner. Moral of the story SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE.
This defeat was not acceptable by the hare it came as a shame,and a shock for its self confidence .so called the tortoise for a rerace.this time the hare was very alert did not waste time and wanted to emerge as winner from the start  and the result too proved in favour of the hare.MORAL HARD WORK NEVER FAILS.
But than the fox which was a spectatar wanted some fun said it was aunfair competetion snce both of them were not on equal footing so a different route was fixed for the race this time, the hare was all brisk afterall he wanted to retain its supermacy so made a very fast run across bushes lanes etc and reached a point beyond which it could do nothing ,for there was a wide stream whiich it had to cross,so it was struck. the tortoise made its appearance at the point troddling slowly and allmost tired and dead. but on seeing the stream it just jumped into it wadded tho the water and reached the other end whithin no time. and this time the tortoise was declared the winner, but the tortoise had choosen this route with a pact with the fox using a water based terrain. the moral here is how ever powerful or confident you are kindly have a startegy.finally both the hare and tortoise felt if they have to be friends and win at all times the strenght of each other is to be shared  so they finally had an agreement that on land the hare would help the tortoise and in water the tortoise would help the hare.
