A real-life version of the classic childhood fable, The Hare and the Tortoise, recently unfolded in China, and the result has left the internet in splits. A viral video, doing the rounds on social media, captured an actual race between a rabbit and a tortoise. Did the hare win this time? We know you are curious to figure out.
Before we reveal whether the history repeated itself or there was a new winner, let us tell you the video has both amused and amazed people. The video opened showing two event volunteers holding the animals in their hands at the starting point of the race. When the competition kicks off, the hare rushes on its track while the tortoise takes tiny steps towards the end.
Take a look at the video below
Know who wins the race this time
Who wins it, the hare or the tortoise? The video records the entire race, without missing the much-awaited result. It shows both animals moving forward on their tracks as the competition starts, but only for the hare to lose yet again, proving that slow and steady still wins the race.
The video featuring the school time story showed the hare initially running ahead. Seconds later, the rabbit loses focus and wanders on its route. Unlike the popular tale, it doesn't take a nap. It simply stands still at regular intervals after making a good rushing start.
By the time people motivate the hare to prove itself, the tortoise manages to hit the victory mark. This time, too, the slow animal wins the race, leaving the hare behind.
An Instagram page 'School memories' posted the clip online. The user laughed at the hare after it failed to use the second chance and prove the older story false. "Izzat kamani ka dusra moqa bhi gawa diya (hare emoji)", read the caption.
