Tortoise and the Hare: the True Story

So you think tortoise won the race, not so. Today the last of hare's descendants passed on. On his death bed from his lips came this, "My great, great, so many grandfathers was bribed, to throw the race to the tortoise by the way of carrots. His greatest weakness, you didn't really think the tortoise could have won do you." then he passed on. wrote 4-14-07
