@ghost-of-a-duke saidStill droning on. Oh that prank, that prank, that prank...
I'm more interested in your recent assessment of that prank, arguing that the use of Covid to validate it was funny and well timed.
-Removed-The Hare was soon far out of sight, and to make the Tortoise feel very deeply how ridiculous it was for him to try a race with a Hare, he lay down beside the course to take a nap until the Tortoise should catch up.
The Tortoise meanwhile kept going slowly but steadily, and, after a time, passed the place where the Hare was sleeping. But the Hare slept on very peacefully; and when at last he did wake up, the Tortoise was near the goal. The Hare now ran his swiftest, but he could not overtake the Tortoise in time.
