![The tortoise and the rabbit stand at the starting line]
In a beautiful American countryside, the animals decided to hold a race. There was a rabbit which ran extremely fast and always showed off its speed everywhere. There was also a tortoise. Although it crawled very slowly, it was very perseverant. When the rabbit saw the tortoise also participating in the race, it couldn't help but laugh at it: "You slowpoke, how dare you compete with me?" The tortoise was not angry and just said calmly: "Although I'm slow, I will keep going until the end."
![The rabbit runs so fast that it leaves the tortoise far behind]
The race began. The rabbit rushed out like an arrow and soon left the tortoise far behind. As the rabbit was running, it looked back and couldn't even see the shadow of the tortoise. It thought to itself: "The tortoise crawls so slowly. It doesn't matter if I take a break first." So, the rabbit lay down under a big tree and soon fell asleep.
![The tortoise moves forward firmly step by step]
As for the tortoise, step by step, although its speed was very slow, it kept crawling firmly towards the finish line. It didn't give up because it was slow, nor was it depressed because the rabbit was far ahead.
![The rabbit is still sleeping]
At this time, the rabbit was still sleeping soundly. It was having a sweet dream, dreaming that it won the race easily and all the animals were cheering for it.
![The tortoise is approaching the finish line]
The tortoise was getting closer and closer to the finish line. It still crawled unhurriedly, but every step was full of strength.
![The tortoise crosses the finish line first]
Finally, the tortoise crossed the finish line first. All the animals cheered for the tortoise. Everyone admired the tortoise's perseverance.
After a long while, the rabbit woke up. It stretched itself and slowly ran towards the finish line. When it saw that the tortoise was already at the finish line, it regretted very much. This story tells us that no matter what we do, we should not be complacent. We should have a humble attitude and also the perseverance to keep going so that we can achieve success.
