rabbit thought this was a good joke and accepted the challenge.

As the race began, the rabbit raced way ahead of the turtle, just
like everyone thought. The rabbit got to the halfway point and
could not see the turtle anywhere. He was hot and tired and
decided to stop and take a short nap. All this time the turtle kept
walking step by step by step. He never quit no matter how hot or

However, the rabbit slept longer than he had thought and woke
up. He could not see the turtle anywhere! He went at full-speed
to the finish line but found the turtle there waiting for him.

Bad Temper
There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father
gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his
temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.
The first day, the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over
the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the
number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down. He
discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those
nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.
He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy
now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his
temper. The days passed and the boy was finally able to tell his
father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He
said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the
fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in
anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in
a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say
I'm sorry. The wound is still there."

B. People should apologize one another
