-18-The Hare and the TortoiseA HARE one day ridiculed the short feet and slow pace of the Tortoise, who replied,laughing: "Though you be swift as the wind, I will beat you in a race." The Hare,believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreedthat the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the racethe two started together. The Tortoise never for a moment stopped, but went on with aslow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare, lying down by thewayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw theTortoise had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue. Slow butsteady wins the race.
-19-The Pomegranate, Apple-Tree, and BrambleTHE POMEGRANATE and Apple-Tree disputed as to which was the most beautiful.When their strife was at its height, a Bramble from the neighboring hedge lifted up itsvoice, and said in a boastful tone: "Pray, my dear friends, in my presence at least ceasefrom such vain disputings."
