The Tortoise and the Hare

Fable by Aesop

This article is about Aesop's fable. For other uses, see The Tortoise and the Hare (disambiguation).

"The Tortoise and the Hare" is one of Aesop's Fables and is numbered 226 in the Perry Index.^[1] The account of a race between unequal partners has attracted conflicting interpretations. The fable itself is a variant of a common folktale theme in which ingenuity and trickery (rather than doggedness) are employed to overcome a stronger opponent.

An ambiguous story

[edit]

The story concerns a Hare who ridicules a slow-moving Tortoise. Tired of the Hare's arrogant behaviour, the Tortoise challenges him to a race.^[2] The hare soon leaves the tortoise behind and, confident of winning, takes a nap midway through the race. When the Hare awakes, however, he finds that his competitor, crawling slowly but steadily, has arrived before him.

The Top 5 Aesop Fables That Everyone Should Know

4. The Frogs Who Desired a King

Frightened by the din, the frogs go into hiding, only to return slowly to look at the king.

The story

Saddened that they had no one to rule over them, a band of Frogs send a convoy to Jupiter to ask for a King. Jupiter, none too keen on their request, hurled a log into the pool where the Frogs lived and ordered that the log should be their King. The huge splash terrifies the Frogs and they scuttle into the deepest parts of the pool. 

After a while, when they discovered the log posed no threat, they gradually began to venture to the surface again, and, eventually, growing more brave, began to sit on the log itself.

Insulted by Jupiter’s offering, the Frogs send a second convoy to request that the inactive King be taken away. In response, Jupiter sent a Stork to rule over the Frogs, who promptly caught and ate the fleeing amphibians in no time at all!

The moral

When you seek to change your condition, be sure that you can better it.
