Tortoise is famous for slow walking and rabbit for fast running. Once a competition of race between the two was held. They both started running to reach the finishing point. The rabbit ran as fast as possible, But the tortoise was unable to run so fast. So it continued walking towards the finishing point. In the meantime the rabbit reached far ahead of the tortoise, so it stopped beneath a tree and saw behind but there was no any trace of the tortoise. The rabbit was very happy and decided to take some rest in the shade of the tree. When it laid there, it at once slept. After few minutes the tortoise reached there, it saw the rabbit lying sound sleep. So the tortoise silently walked ahead and after some time reached the finishing point.
In the mean time when the rabbit awoke from fast asleep, it was behind but still there was no trace of the tortoise, so it easily walked towards the finishing point. When the rabbit reached there, it was that the tortoise had already reached there, so it became very ashamed.
