A surprise

For me

It's a surprise

The Tortoise and Rabbit story

An inserted competition

A human made competition


That's why

It's a surprise

For me

Do you think there can be a competition?

Do you think there can be a race between a tortoise and a rabbit?

No it's not possible….

There can't be any race between a tortoise and a rabbit.


That's why

It's a surprise

For me

I was watching a TV channel some days ago.

That was showing a race between a tortoise and a rabbit.

People were shouting,

Some were encouraging the Tortoise

And some were encouraging the Rabbit.

The Tortoise was walking continuously and steadily according to its nature.

But the Rabbit jumps and then sits-down for some time.

Jumps again and sits-down for some time.

Because it's the nature of Rabbit to search for food in this manner.

It can be watched. 

A rabbit can be watched to make arrangements for food in this manner in a jungle.

And that's why the Rabbit was behaving like that.

The Rabbit can't understand that race.

It wasn't a race for a rabbit.


And that's why

It's a surprise

For me

It's a surprise

The Tortoise and Rabbit story

An inserted competition

A human made competition


That's why

It's a surprise

For me

Yes! A rabbit would run

In the animal world there is only one type of possible race.

And that race can be between a prey and a predator.

Make a tiger attack a rabbit and you will see the rabbit running.

Running like a bullet.

Even a tiger has to struggle hard to get it.

Rabbit can understand this race.

Only this race can be a race for a rabbit.



And that's why

It's a surprise

For me

It's a surprise

The Tortoise and Rabbit story

An inserted competition

A human made competition


That's why

It's a surprise

For me

It's a surprise

Why are humans so mad about competition?

Why are humans so interested in competition?
