The tortoise and the hare had a race. The tortoise got all her relatives to help on the day of the big race. She stationed them along the way. Each time the hare turned a bend in the path--there was a tortoise. The hare thought it was the same tortoise. Finally he just gave up. He wasn't outraced, he was outsmarted.
