Around 5000 BC while Homer was composing the Illiad in Greece,Pt.Vishnu Sharma was composing the Panchatantra in India-tales illustrative of the complexities of life.
Once,in a forest,The rabbit and the tortoise decided to run a race.The rabbit was sure of winning but he wanted to teach the tortoise a lesson.
The day of the race dawned.In the presence of all the animals of the jungle,both of them set out.After going a short distance,the rabbit decided to take a nap,quite sure of his victory.While the rabbit was sleeping,the tortoise was going steadily with small steps towards the goal.
After a couple of hours,the rabbit got up and assuming that the tortose was still behind,started walking slowly towards the finish line.
To his amazement,he found the tortoise waiting for him at the finish line.The moral of the story is 'slow and steady wins the race'.
