The turtle and the rabbit

The rabbit mocked the turtle for being so inert and slow. The turtle got fed up with that and challenged the rabbit to a race. .................. And he admitted he had been outrun by the slowest creature on earth!

“He/she is able but not willing to apply him/herself...“, “He/she is smart, but

that’s of little use !“
