The hare and the tortoise: another version

One night the hare confessed,
"I have no ego, I let the tortoise win
just to see him smile."
And another night, the tortoise said,
"I am kind, I let her have her way
just to see her smile."
And the moon whispered:
"There is such charm
in the games that lovers play".
