The famous race of the Rabbit and the Tortoise - II
The Story Doesn't End Here
Once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who was
faster.
They decided to settle the argument with a race. They agreed on a route
and started off the race.
The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time.
Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under
a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race. He sat under
the tree and soon fell asleep.
The tortoise plodding on overtook him and soon finished the race, emerging as the undisputed champ.
The hare woke up
and realized that he'd lost the race.
The moral- "Slow and steady wins the race. This is the version of the
story that we've all grown up with."
THE STORY DOESN'T END HERE
The hare was of course unhappy that he lost. Given his capabilities, he would difinitely win the tortoise. Thus the hare called for a rematch.
This time round, they invited an impartial judge to judge the winner of the race.
They called their friend, the Pig to judge.
"On You Mark.. Get Set.. GO!" the pig shouted.
Having learnt from the previous lesson, the hare ran as fast as he could, intending to stop after he crosses the finish line.
On the other hand, the tortoise also decided to run as fast as he could.
The hare, upon reaching the finishing line, turned back to look at the tortoise. Unbelievably, the tortoise is just right behind the hare! Thinking that he must not waste his one and only chance to beat the tortoise, the hare sprinted the remaining 10m of the race.
However, the both of them reached the finish line at exactly the same time.
Guess who won in the end (please guess first before scrolling down)
if you guessed either the hare or the tortoise, then you are the PIG judge
