The Tortoise and the Hare

AesopOriginal title Χελώνη καὶ λαγωός

"The Tortoise and the Hare" is one of Aesop's Fables and is numbered 226 in the Perry Index. 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 are employed to overcome a stronger opponent.

“Slow and steady wins the race.”
