فارسیIn a lush and vast forest, there was a rabbit who ran very fast. He had become proud of his speed and would run every day, showing off his power to others. The other animals were amazed by his speed, and no one could compete with him. One day, a calm and dignified tortoise approached the rabbit. The tortoise, who always moved slowly, said to the rabbit, “Why don’t we have a race?” The rabbit, laughing, responded, “A race! I can never lose to you, you’re so slow.” But the tortoise said seriously, “If we race right now, I don’t think your speed will always be enough.” The rabbit, excited by the idea, agreed. He was confident that he would win and said confidently, “Alright, if we race right now, I’ll reach the finish line in a few minutes while you’re still halfway through.” The race began. The rabbit immediately dashed off at an incredible speed, while the tortoise continued steadily and calmly. the rabbit Confident of his superiority, He decided to take a rest after a while of running and lay down under a tree. He thought to himself, “A few minutes of sleep won’t hurt me since I’m far ahead of the tortoise.” However, the tortoise kept going with persistence, without stopping. Hours passed, and finally, he approached the finish line. When the rabbit woke up, he realized that the tortoise had already reached the finish line. He quickly started running, but it was too late. The tortoise, through calm and consistent effort, had won the race. The rabbit looked at the tortoise in shame. The tortoise gently said, “This shows that speed and pride are not always enough. Sometimes it’s perseverance and consistent effort that bring victory.” Moral: Perseverance and consistent effort can defeat short-term advantages and pride.
