We can even find an analogue for this message in the Bibles biblical recommendation that the race is not to the swift (Ecclesiastes 9:11). Its true that slow and steady wins the race is a plausible interpretation of the storys meaning, and this tallies with other proverbs, such as more haste, less speed. Indeed, the moral of this tale has become proverbial: slow and steady wins the race. So he ran off towards the finish-line as fast as his legs would carry him, but it was too late, as the tortoise had already won. The tortoise was so far behind that a little rest wouldnt hurt. He was so far ahead of the tortoise that he decided he could afford to stop and have a rest. The tortoise, tiring of the hares gibes about how slow he was on his feet, eventually challenged the hare to a race. So lets take a closer look at the meaning of The Hare and the Tortoise (sometimes known as The Tortoise and the Hare). The meaning or moral of the fable is worth analysing more closely, however, and the story has attracted a number of competing indeed, actively conflicting interpretations. Hare stretched and yawned and began to run again, but it was too late.Īfter that, Hare always reminded himself, Dont brag about your lightning pace, for Slow and Steady won the race. The animals who were watching cheered so loudly for Tortoise, they woke up Hare.
