One traditional story that I find particularly interesting is the tale of the hair and the turtles. I first heard this story in my primary school when my teacher narrated it to the class. Later, I came across it again in children books and even in animated versions on television. The story is about a race between a slow but steady turtle and a fast but overconfident here. At the beginning, the hare runs so quickly so that he is a sure of winning. So he decided to take a nap midway. Meanwhile, the turtles continue slow but steady eat across the finish line first because The moral of the story is that persistence and consistency often lead to success while overconfidence can cause failure. I think in my opinion the story is that slow and steady wincy race remains relevant in academic work and even in personal life. Moreover, the idea to use to and study wincy race and the character uses animal as a sample. So that’s why this story is there. This story shows that the consistency can lead to success but overconfidence can cause failure.
