Clearly an absurdist. Small stakes for what his word is worth. The hare let the tortoise beat him accidentally on purpose. Everyone loves a good story. When ego is beyond everything how can you care about fame and glory? Victory feels silly. Like a brand new bride without her ring. Losing only hurts the pride if they allow themselves to feel the sting. I am far from winning, but farther still from admitting defeat. When that rhythm hits me, I'll sing along and move my feet.
