Orientation - Once upon a time, a tortoise lived on his own in the jungle. He was quiet, polite and kind towards other animals living the jungle. In the same jungle, lived a Rabbit who loved to talk about the many awards he had won for always finishing first in a race. One day, he approached the Tortoise and said, “Why don’t you learn to walk faster? If you do, we can race someday.” The Tortoise only smiled at him and moved on. The Rabbit was in a wicked mood. Every day, he would approach the Tortoise at the same place and pass the same comment. One fine day, when the Rabbit challenged him again, the Tortoise replied, “Alright, I accept the challenge.” He looked around and saw the other jungle animals clapping their hands and cheering him on. A few days later, the race began! The entire jungle came to a standstill to see the result of this great challenge., Complication - When the race began, the Rabbit overtook the Tortoise within no time. His speed was remarkably high, making him lead the race quickly. When he looked back and saw how far behind he had left the Tortoise, the Rabbit decided to stop running and rest for a while.  He lay down under a huge tree on the track. The leaves shade sent him into a deep slumber. Meanwhile, the Tortoise ran slowly without giving up and stopping. As time passed, he gradually caught up with the Hare, who was still sleeping. The Tortoise crossed by him and continued moving towards the finish line. , Resolution - Slowly but surely, the Tortoise reached the finish line and won the race. The entire town started clapping for the Tortoise. The loud cheers woke up the Rabbit from his deep sleep. He woke up, not realizing what had happened. He rubbed his eyes and thought, “Gosh, the tortoise must still be struggling.” The Hare got up and dashed towards the winning post. When he got there, he saw that, to his surprise, the Tortoise was wearing the victory crown, and all the other animals were congratulating him. The Tortoise saw the Rabbit from a distance and smiled at him. The Rabbit sat down, regretting the action that made him lose the race against the slowest animal in the jungle., Re-orientation / Coda - In this story, the rabbit lost the race because he was overconfident and did not take the competition seriously. On the other hand, the tortoise was the slowest animal and yet did not lose confidence while competing with the Rabbit. The story teaches us that not everyone is blessed with similar talents, but that does not mean one can’t achieve a difficult goal. Hard work and perseverance always pay off and that it is okay to be slow, but it is more important to be steady in the pursuit of your goal.,
