Once upon a time, there was a very patient man. He was determined to win a race. The race was to carry a big weight. Every day, the patient man practiced by picking up the heavy weight and walking around.
One day, another man saw him practice and he was impatient. He wanted to win the race, so he asked the patient man if he could try. But the patient man said no.
The impatient man was angry. He snuck back to the patient man's house. He took a big knife and cut the weight. He was so happy that he carried it away.
But when it was time for the race, the patient man won! That's because he was so strong and patient, even though he was carrying a light weight. The impatient man felt so silly.
