Read together
Once upon a time, in the countryside there lived a group of animals that were very energetic and cooperative. One day, they decided to have a race to see who was the fastest.
The hare was feeling fidgety and confident, he took off at a blazing speed, but after a few meters, he stopped and said sarcastically, "Why bother running for kilometers, this is ridiculous!"
The tortoise, always calm and collected, replied with a smile, "Well, I'll keep going, every significant step counts."
And with that, the tortoise continued his slow and steady pace, eventually crossing the finish line first! The hare was shocked and realized that sometimes slow and steady wins the race. The end.
Talk about it
