　　 I was telling my son Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, “Son, remember: being slow and steady (firm) wins the race. Don’t you think there is something to learn from the tortoise?” He opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60 meter race I should wish that Bill and Tony and Sandy all fall asleep half-way?” I was greatly surprised．“But the tortoise didn’t wish the hare would fall asleep.”

“He much have wished that.” Sonny said．“Or how could he be so stupid as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than himself did.”

“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted．“He won the race by perseverance and by pushing on steadily”.

Sonny thought for a while. “That’s a lie,” he said．“He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’ s for sure.”
