My favourite story is The Tortoise and the Hare.
Once upon a time, a hare and a tortoise had a race. The hare was very fast. He stopped and slept on the way. The tortoise was slow, but he walked and walked. At last, the tortoise won the race.
I like this story because it tells me “Slow and steady wins the race”.
