Allegory of the Tortoise and the Hare

The Allegory of the Tortoise and the Hare illustrates the importance of perseverance and steady effort. In the story, the quick and overconfident hare mocks the slow-moving tortoise. They agree to a race; the hare, confident of winning, naps during the race, while the tortoise steadily continues, eventually winning because of consistent persistence. The lesson is that consistent, determined effort often leads to success over relying solely on talent or confidence. It emphasizes humility, patience, and the value of perseverance in achieving goals.
