The Race!

Once the Turtle met the Rabbit...
Rabbit smiled in Pride and told, 
"See, Guy, i am gonna teach you Speed,
just taste the Race Factor in Life...
why crawl...speed up...race with me..."
Rabbit could not win as the story goes...
and Turtle didn't celebrate the Win!
it can see very well that Rabbit Fella is sad...
As it went on murmuring-"now now...
everybody says i have to pay for my
Superiority Complex, right? but why should i?
"No No, we will take the good part of it", console the Turtle,
as it was very much depressed by the ever-smiling Rabbit's gloomy mood..
"See, Beaut, i could not learn Speed as you planned to teach me,
but see i have learnt how to "Stir the Life Soup" now... Smile, as You Win!"
Angry, Depressed, hurt Rabbit didn't heed any of it and went away.

Gloom stroke Turtle like it had done never before...
Earlier there was no race...no stirring...no smiling face...
and now no Rabbit...!
"ah, how much i loved that cute Rabbit, Turtle shied
and went down the water hole...
it remained quiet there ...didn't stir...

Time pass by...
And one day the turtle opened up it's eye...
somebody is calling it's name...
oh, it hurts even to open my eyes...
the weak and sick Turtle asked-"who is this...?"
And a small voice came over-"it's me..."
Turtle hurriedly look here and there...
as it can sense Rabbit somewhere...
"but a Rabbit? in the water? how come?"
it saw a Morose Fish lying upon a stone,
calling -"Turtle come over, come over here, fast..."
"You are my Rabbit! i love you so much... i miss you...
and how did you turn into a fish?"
Turtle burst into tears...

The Fish shied but didn't cry-
told-" oh,so you recognise me!
Great, i love you too..and searched for you!
could not find...somebody told
you have gone down the water hole
so i did a little magic and become the Fish..
and i had been seeing you from so many days...
but couldn't face it to meet You...
You know what, i have forgotten
where i have kept the Antidote
That will again turn me into a Rabbit!!
But uh, uh.. look at You! what you have done to yourself!
You didn't even learn what i taught you-Speed! Race!"
Now hearing all this, the Turtle cried more....
"yeah i could not learn Speed, Race!
but had learnt Stirring...
and then again i forgot the formulae O my Dear Rabbit!
But what about You? why you are so sad?
why? you have forgotten what i taught you-
Patience! Persistence!! and Success!!"

The Rabbit smiled,
"yep, now that we are together,
let us give it a try...
i teach you Speed, Race & Stirring again...
you teach me Patience! Persistence!! and Success!!
I love You ...
