Long ago in a land far away, there lived two princes
of the animal kingdom. The first, was the son of the
King of the Hares; Prince Harey. The second was
named Prince Tortoise, for his father was king to all
the tortoises and other reptiles of the forest












It was common knowledge throughout the kingdom that
Prince Harey was extremely fast. With his strong legs and
powerful muscles it was effortless for him to bound away
or flee from danger within seconds. Many a creature had
rumored that he was even quicker than Peter Cottontail the
Third. However, Harey was aware of his great talent and
would gloat to anyone that would listen.








The tortoise however had inherited his father, the king's
insightful and wise nature. He was so well known for his
perceptiveness that animals from near and far would travel
to request advice from Prince Tortoise. He was very well
respected and had many friends, as well as followers.














One crisp spring morning, Prince Tortoise was in the middle of
his morning yoga when he overheard Prince Harey gloating once
again of his magnificent speed. After a while of attempting to
ignore his display of overconfidence, Prince Tortoise rose from
his cross legged position and strolled over to the crowd of
woodland creatures listening to Harey speak of his latest
achievements; winning a race against the deer whom often
grazed near this end of the kingdom. Once he had made his way
to the thick of the crowd, Prince Tortoise called out:
"Oh dear Harey, may I suggest that we have a race? You, the
hare against myself, a humble tortoise."
Prince Harey laughed before obnoxiously retorting" Well my
friend Tortoise, if you really believe that you stand a chance
against someone of my skill then of course, we must race. If
only to prove that I am once again the fastest of all the animals
in the land."














It was settled. The two princes were scheduled to race the first
thing the next morning. They planned to meet at the bottom of
The Great Hill at the break of dawn. The racetrack would run
around the circumference of the kingdom: around the entire
forest and back to the end of the hill; the first one to reach the
starting point would be the winner.
Being the smart and knowledgeable Tortoise that he was,
Prince Tortoise went home and got a good nights rest in order to
ensure that he would be prepared to race the following morning.
However, Harey stayed up until the wee hours of the night
before finally laying down to sleep.




















On the morning of the race both princes showed up at the crack
of dawn; prepared to run as fast as their legs would allow them.
After some time, a large crowd had gathered around the bottom
of The Hill to watch the spectacle -- everyone was anxious to see
if the tortoise would prove Harey wrong once and for all. The
rooster made his call and Prince Harey and Prince Tortoise
started off for the race.
