(Main story we have heard during our childhood.)

There once was a speedy hare who bragged about how fast he could run. Tired of hearing him boast, Slow and Steady, the tortoise, challenged him to a race. All the animals in the forest gathered to watch.

Hare ran down the road for a while and then and paused to rest. He looked back at Slow and Steady and cried out, "How do you expect to win this race when you are walking along at your slow, slow pace?"

Hare stretched himself out alongside the road and fell asleep, thinking, "There is plenty of time to relax."

Slow and Steady walked and walked. He never, ever stopped until he came to the finish line.

The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for Tortoise, they woke up Hare.

Hare stretched and yawned and began to run again, but it was too late. Tortoise was over the line.

The moral of the story is that slow and steady wins the race.

This is the version of the story that we've all grown up with.

But the story did not end here .... What happened next? I believe some of us have heard more ... If you knew or you want to create one ... let me know.

As I did some search on the net I found a more interesting version of this story. It continues......

The Tortoise and The Hare (Part 2)

Hare was disappointed at losing the race and he did some Defect Prevention (Root Cause Analysis). He realised that he'd lost the race only because he had been overconfident, careless and lax. If he had not taken things for granted, there's no way Tortoise could have beaten him. So he challenged the Tortoise to another race. Tortoise agreed but with one condition. The place of race will be choose by Tortoise itself..........
