Racing Rabbit Riding Tortoise Key Ring

A Hare once rode a tortoise in a race, And soon found out he couldn't go the pace. "It's slow and steady wins," the tortoise sighed; "It was in AEsop's time," the hare replied, "But things have altered and such times are past; He who'd win now must steady be and fast!" A rabbit wearing blue and yellow striped silks and a green cap and brandishing a riding crop, holds the reins to the turtle he is riding in this antique illustration from an 1899 children's book.
