The horse started to run more quickly. No matter how hard the horse tried, the snail was still ahead. After a lot of attempts, the poor horse finally gave up. The horse felt ashamed and exclaimed, " “Okay! The race goes my way!" The snail started laughing, " Ha, ha, ha! So, will you ever make fun of anyone?" The horse asked the snail to forgive him and promised that he would never make fun of anyone in the future
