The Tortoise points out a road they can race on; the road winds up a hill; a flag flies where the road reaches the hilltop.

"You are the slowest creature in the world," yelled the Hare.  "It's because you have such short legs!  

You know, you should have been born a Hare.  I can hop faster than anyone!"

The Tortoise replied, "Yes, Mr. Hare.  You are as fast as the wind.  No one will argue about that.  

But I can beat you in a race.   Let's race to the top of that hill way yonder?   We'll see who is faster."
