Author's notes:
The part "Everyone here knows the story of my grandfather. He was challenged to a race by a hare. The hare was very confident and took a nap midway through the race. My grandfather didn’t stop crawling and was first at the finish." refers to Aesop's fable "The Tortoise and the Hare"
