Tortoise and The Hare story for kids

Once there lived a tortoise in a jungle. One day it saw a tortoise nearby the pond. It was walking slowly with a heavy shell on his back. The hare was very proud of himself. He can run fast, and no one can beat him in the race.  He asked the tortoise. “Shall we have a race?" 

The tortoise agreed. They started the running race. The hare ran very fast. But the tortoise walked very slowly. The proud hair rested under a tree and soon slept off. In the meantime, the tortoise walked very fast, slowly and steadily it reached the goal. At last, the tortoise won the race.

Moral: Pride goes before a fall.
