A highly anticipated match between a hare and a tortoise is about to start. The tortoise fans are worried because their favourite racer does not have many chances of winning; so they decide to intervene by offering the tortoise some help. However, the tortoise refuses and condemns their idea, replying that it would not lead to real victory because it would be obtained through deception. The fans are astonished but they then come to realise how silly their idea had been.
