Read the fable below and answer the question. Unhappy with his slow speed, the Hare teased the Tortoise. The Tortoise challenged the Hare to a race. The Hare sprinted ahead, grew confident, and decided to take a nap under a shady oak tree. Meanwhile, the slow Tortoise kept walking steadily without stopping. When the Hare woke up, the Tortoise was already crossing the finish line. What lesson does the Tortoise teach in this story?

Taking naps during a race helps you run faster. Steady effort and persistence can win over quickness combined with carelessness. Sprinting as fast as possible at the start guarantees victory. Oak trees are the best places to rest during sports events.

Steady effort and persistence can win over quickness combined with carelessness.
