Example of Aesop fables

Once upon a time there was a fable about a race between a turtle and a rabbit. The rabbit was so much faster than the turtle. During the race, the rabbit had a tremendous lead and decided to take a nap before finishing the race. When the rabbit woke up, the turtle had won the race. The rabbit was embarrassed. The rabbit knew that the rabbit was so much faster than the turtle. The rabbit challenged the turtle again to another race. In the next race, the rabbit won, easily. The rabbit was by far physically faster than the turtle. Because the rabbit became overconfident, the rabbit did not use his physical advantage. The rabbit lost the first race. Even though the turtle lost the second race, the turtle was happy when he finished the race.
Lesson: In life there are those that have a greater advantage than others. The greater advantage might allow them to win a race. But just like the turtle, happiness is determined by achieving one's own individual goal.
