Slow and steady wins the race story for Class 6
Once, a hare told a tortoise that he was very slow in running. He also said. “You have as many legs as I have but I can defeat you at any play”. At this, the tortoise became very sorry. He protested and invited the hare to compete in a race. At this, the hare was much glad. So, she said, “Come, let’s fix a date for the race.”
They fixed a date. A fox came to see the race. They made him their judge. When the judge ordered them to run, they started their running. After a while, the hare reached the goal very soon. Then, he halted and looked behind. As the hare was far behind him, he laughed and decided to take a little rest under the shade of a tree but fell asleep there.

Once there lived a hare and a tortoise. The hare was proud of his swift foot and he used to tease the tortoise for its slow pace. One day the hare stopped the tortoise and said, “You slow coach! I feel pity for your speed.” “How can you walk with such a heavy shell on your back?” “You need not worry friend, hare”, said the tortoise. “If you like I can run a race with you.” The hare sneered, “What! Do you want to run a race? Very well, I am ready. I accept your challenge.”
At once both of them started. In a moment the hare got ahead of the tortoise. The tortoise was moving very slowly with his heavy shell on his back. The hare stopped halfway and looked back. “Ha! Ha!” laughed the hare, “You are creeping on far behind. Speed up, lest I should be half over the country before you reach the end of the battle.”
The tortoise said nothing. He toiled and toiled. “I may easily take a short nap and then overtake him,” the hare said to himself.
The hare lay down on the grass. In no time he fell fast asleep. The tortoise was moving slowly with his little feet. He came creeping up the place, never stopping to look behind.
The hare awoke and looked forward to seeing the tortoise. He sprang up and attempted to start on like the wind. He said, “Where is the tortoise?” From the end of the field the tortoise replied, “Hare, hare, I am winning the race.”

One day a hare met a tortoise. She made fun of the slow pace of the tortoise and said, “You have as many legs as I have. But I am sure, you cannot run as fast as I can. Most probably you can’t run at all”. The tortoise became very angry. He answered quietly, “You can run quite fast, no doubt. But I think you can talk even faster than you can run.
However, I agree to run a five-mile race with you.” At this, the hare felt very delighted. So she said, “Come along, let’s fix a date for the race.” They fixed a date. A fox came to see the race. The tortoise and the hare came to the starting point.
The race began. The hare began to run very fast. She jumped and jumped. She ran a mile in a few minutes. Soon she found the tortoise far behind her. Then she stopped. She said I can have a good sleep before the tortoise comes up. So saying, the hare went to sleep in a bush.
In the meantime, the tortoise walked on and on. He did not stop anywhere. When he came to the bush, he saw the lazy hare lying fast asleep. He smiled and quietly passed by her.
After some time the hare woke up. She saw that it was already evening. She immediately got on her feet. She began to run very fast. But alas! The tortoise had already gone far. She came in sight of the goal. But the tortoise was already crossing the winning post. The hare felt much ashamed. She now said to herself, “It is true that slow and steady wins the race.”
