hare and the tortise

there was once a hare that boasted that it was the fastest creature on earth. the old and wise tortoise heard this and invited the hare for a race. the hare accepted the challenge with a sneer. the race would last for three days roughly. the race was flagged by the elephant. the hare took a good lead and decided to rest. it chanced upon a plant and decided it will burn it. burn it did. the hare got high. it imagined a million things. and it kept smoking the weed for hours together. the tortoise finally caught up with the hare and tried waking it up. said the hare"i know i can beat you.don't wake me up from this dream.let me be". and the tortoise went on to win the race. the hare had the best days of his life smoking the weed. and it went back to its place. with the big tortoise gone. the grass on the ponds bank,the tender ones-was all his. the tortoise died from exhaustion. and news got around that the hare was slower than the tortoise. so the tigers,lions and such creatures under estimated the hare. the hare happily got away. some lions believed they were loosing it and hence dint speak of the fast hare. the lioness dint want to be called a weirdo. so no one spoke of the fast hare. they always speak of the tortoise that beat the hare.
