Once, a hare saw a tortoise walking slowly with a heavy shell on his back. The hare was very proud of himself and he asked the tortoise. “Shall we have a race?"
The tortoise agreed. They started the running race. The hare ran very fast. But the tortoise walked very slowly. The proud hair rested under a tree and soon slept off. But the tortoise walked very fast, slowly and steadily and reached the goal. At last, the tortoise won the race.

You ever wonder why hip-hop music is the genre that is most uniquely focused on big, white corporations paying black men to
brag about how high and drunk they are You think this is a coincidence? Sorry, but it’s not. There is a reason why an artist
