Detailed explanation-1: -The tortoise continues to move very slowly but without stopping and finally it wins the race. The moral lesson of the story is that you can be more successful by doing things slowly and steadily than by acting quickly and carelessly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Consistent, effective effort leads to success. This is the moral of one of Aesop’s fables, “The Tortoise and the Hare.”

Detailed explanation-3: -A Hare and a Tortoise decided one day to compete with each other in a race. That was because the Hare dared to laugh at the Tortoise for being so slow and heavy and he just couldn’t stand this painful offence.

Detailed explanation-4: -The expression slow and steady wins the race comes directly from a fable written by Aesop in the 500s B.C. The fable, The Tortoise and the Hare, tells the story of a race between the two animals.
