Everyone has heard the story of the Hare and the Tortoise. A less famous fable concerns the race between the Tomato and the Cucumber.
According to the story, although the Tomato got off to a rolling start, it was immediately overtaken by the Cucumber. Travelling like a torpedo the Cucumber shot ahead, never looked back, and won the race easily.
