One day a hare was making fun of a tortoise for being slow, while a the same time he bragged about his own speed.
“I’ll race you,” the tortoise said quietly.
“You’ll WHAT?!” the hare laughed.
“I said, I’ll race you,” the tortoise repeated.
“HA! You race me? That’s a laugh!” the hare guffawed. “why, I’d be at the finish line before you even got started!”
“And I bet I’ll win,” the tortoise calmly continued.
“It’s a bet!” cried the hare, and the two shook hands on the wager.
