Answer:
The answer is Hare and the tortoise.
Explanation:
It is related that in a certain far-off forest, a haughty hare and a humble tortoise used to live rosy life. The here was swift in his pace, but the tortoise was slow in his pace. At times, it so happened when they got together the arrogant hare spared no chance to tease the tortoise for his sluggish nature. The poor tortoise always listened and kept quiet. One day the tortoise challenged the hare to run a race with him which he accepted. Both the hare and the tortoise fixed the day for the race between two extremes.
Thus, the race started and in no time the hare was out of sight due to his brisk speed. As the tortoise was moving at a snail’s pace, so he was left far behind. On the way the hare thought that the slow-moving tortoise would never reach the winning point in time, he lay down under a cool shady tree and soon he slept. On the other hand, the tortoise kept walking slowly but steadily. While the tortoise was on his way, he caught a sight of the hare enjoying a sweet sleep. The tortoise moved on with the same slow pace but with firm conviction in his success. The time passed by swiftly but stealthily for the sleepy hare. At length, the tortoise reached the top of the hill quite amazingly.
Hope this helps....
Have a nice day!!!!
"Historia von D. Johann Fausten" is the earliest narration of the legend of Faust written by an anonymous German author and published by Johann Spies in Frankfurt, Germany in 1587. It became the inspiration of Christopher Marlowe’s play entitled "The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus". Marlowe retains the following three story elements from the original legend:
<em>Faustus visits the Pope.</em> This happens during his third exploratory journey. Becoming invisible he demands to witness all the luxuries inside the Pope’s Palace. He remained there, unseen, for three days and three nights.
<em>The agreement between Faust and the Devil is signed in Faustus' own blood.</em> The agreement contained three clauses, the second of which indicated that a sample of Faustus’ blood would authenticate the negotiation. Doctor Faustus, pierced open a vein in his left hand using a pocketknife.
<em>The Devil serves Faustus for 24 years. </em>Based on the first clause of the agreement, Faustus agrees to give his soul to the Devil, that is become his property at the expiration of a certain number of years. In both the original and Marlow’s narration, this period was of 24 years, during which the Devil, by means of the demon Mephistophilis would be at Faustus’ service.
