Quit classes for kids, Class Quick Classes for Kids, Qui a class for Kids. Aesop's fables The Hair and the Tortoise, originally published sometime around five hundred and fifty BC. The Hair, one day, laughing at the tortoise for his own slowness and general unwieldliness, was challenged by the latter to run a race. The hare, looking on the whole affair as a great joke, consented, and the fox was selected to act as the umpire and hold the stakes. The rivals started and the hair, of course, took off, and the Hair, of course, soon left the tortoise far behind. Having come midway to the goal, she began to play about. The day was warm. She even thought she would take a little nap in a shady spot, as if the tortoise would pass her while she slept, she could easily overtake him before he reached the end. The tortoise, meanwhile, plodded on, unwavering and unresting, straight toward the ghiral. The Hair, having overslept herself, started up from her nap and was surprised to find that the tortoise was nowhere in sight. Off she went at full speed, but on reaching the winning post found that the tortoise was already there, waiting for her arrival. Slow and Steady wins the race.
