The rabbit thought this was a good and the challenge. The fox was to be the umpire of the race. As the race began, the rabbit raced way ahead of the turtle, just like everyone thought. The rabbit got to the point and could not see the turtle anywhere. He was hot and tired and to stop and take a short nap. Even if the turtle passed him, he would be able to race to the finish line ahead of him. All this time the turtle walking step by step by step. He never no matter how hot or tired he got. He just kept going. However, the rabbit slept longer than he had and woke up. He could not see the turtle anywhere! He went at to the finish line but found the turtle there for him.
