Once upon a time, a hare and a tortoise held a race. Of course the hare was heavily favored, and when the race began it raced out of of sight, out to a seemingly insurmountable lead. But the hare lost its momentum and the tortoise kept on keeping on, one step at a time, leading to a photo finish that went to the tortoise. This was on a Monday.
That Wednesday, a rematch was held. Most of the animals expected the hare to win in a rout — no way it’d repeat the fatal error of the first race — but praised the tortoise and felt it should hold its head up high.
