The Arrogant Hare

Once upon a time, in the deep forest lived a Hare who were very proud of his speed. “I am the fastest animal in the world.” He bragged. The Hare also liked mocking the Tortoise, “Hello Mr. Tortoise! Whew...You know I am really tired because everyday...everyday I see you walking very slowly hahah...!!”

At this time, the Tortoise took the joke seriously.

“Actually I can run fast. I just don’t want to show it to you because I don’t want to be arrogant” Said the Tortoise. The hare felt surprised and irritated with this.

“You don’t wanna be arrogant, huh? Fine! Let’s have a race tomorrow after the sun rises.”

                                                              

So, the next morning, the Hare and the Tortoise had a race. Once the race started, the Hare was just flashing away, leaving the Tortoise far behind. After a while he couldn’t see the Tortoise, “Where is he...where is he? Don’t wanna be arrogant! How stupid he is!” the Hare started grumbling. It was summer at that time, the sun light was hot and the wind blew in breeze, made the Hare felt sleepy, “Huaaahhh...I’d better sleep now. That slowpoke will be impossible to pass me...huaaahhh” Then the Hare took a rest under a shady tree. With the breeze, the Hare soon felt asleep. 

But, what happened with the Tortoise? It was almost no difference between running and walking for the Tortoise. All was just really slow. However, the Tortoise had a very strong determination. He kept continuing his effort to the finish line. Finally he reached the tree where the Hare was sleeping. “Hmm...I don’t know why you hate a slowpoke like me. I’d prefer to have short legs like these than to have long teeth like you. Hmmh!!!”

The Tortoise kept going with full determination to the finish line. Step by step, the Tortoise was almost reaching the finish line. All animals cheered up for him. The noise of of the crowd awoke the sleeping Hare.

“What the hell is that sound?!!” Slowly, the Hare opened his eyes! How suprised he is to see the Tortoise was far ahead,”What???!!! That’s impossible.” So, the Hare set a bound then...whuuuussss...he flashed catching after the Tortoise. In this mean time, the Tortoise was finally reaching the finish line.

“Tortoise the runner! Tortoise the runner.” Yelled all of the animals. The Hare felt ashamed because finally the Tortoise could beat him. Since that day, the Hare didn’t dare to show up and brag about his speed anymore.

Alright, Guys! Can you get the point of the story I told? Yes, don’t be arrogant because it can just let you down. That’s it from me. Have a great day ...

Ladies and gentlemen, see, arrogance can be a magnificent weapon of your greatness. So, stay humble, okay? This is it! See ya ...
