We're all familiar with the rabbit-tortoise story, yes, the one where the faster rabbit lost to the relatively slower tortoise, due to his laziness. The story that had ended with a moral of being more steady. The rabbit was told to learn from the tortoise. And so he did, the incident was remembered by generations of rabbits, it always reminded them of the silly mistake their ancestor had committed and along with that it was a matter of shame for them. The whole species was being seen as lazy lads now, and it disappointed a young rabbit a lot. He knew that he wasn't like that one old folk who had lost, he was different. He believed that rabbits had improved in terms of speed as well as steadiness, and no rabbit was foolish enough to commit the same mistake again. But it wasn't just about his faith, he needed to prove himself to others too. With all these thoughts in his mind, he left his bushes early in the morning, heading straight to the outskirts of the forest, the place where tortoises resided. On reaching there he challenged the first tortoise he saw for a race.
Tortoise refused, "I've got better business to do",
and the rabbit challenged, "Is that the fear of losing?"
"Joy of winning & sorrow of losing don't affect me. "
"Then what is that is keeping you from accepting my challenge."
"I don't accept challenges, I, however can accompany you in a run. "
"See it as whatever you want to."
