Galphil’s Public Domain stories are sometimes different from other books. Nevertheless here is a brief explanation of what this title is all about:
Outline of the story
“The Turtle and the Rabbit” is a renowned fable that features a race between an overconfident rabbit and a slow but steady turtle. The rabbit, confident in his speed, decides to take a nap midway through the race, while the turtle continues to move slowly but steadily towards the finish line.
Â
In the end, the turtle wins the race while the rabbit is asleep, shocking all the animals who had expected the rabbit to win. The story concludes with the rabbit waking up to find the turtle had already crossed the finish line, leaving him embarrassed and regretful of his overconfidence and complacency.
Moral Lesson
The key lesson from “The Turtle and the Rabbit” is that slow and steady wins the race. It emphasizes that consistent hard work and patience often lead to success, while overconfidence and complacency can lead to failure.
Â
Moreover, the story teaches us not to underestimate others based on their appearance or abilities. The rabbit underestimated the turtle due to his slow speed, but in the end, it was the turtle’s determination and persistence that won him the race.
