One of the famous fables written by La Fontaine : "The Hare and the Tortoise"
In the fable about the hare and the tortoise, the two animals are running a race. The hare thinks it will win easily and makes no effort at all. On the way he thinks he can take a nap, but when he wakes up, the turtle has already reached the finish line. So the hare still loses the game. The moral of the story is that you shouldn't underestimate anyone. The bottom line is that the persistence wins.
