How it begins
The Tortoise wants to reach the finish line. He must prove his steady pace is best. The fast Hare mocks him. Dust kicks up as the Hare dashes away. The Fox waits by the path with a flag. The Tortoise steps forward on the dirt road. He moves one step at a time. The Hare is far ahead in the sun. He looks back and laughs at the slow path.
