The Tortoise and the Eagle

A long time ago, in a land far, far away, there lived an eagle who was both proud and majestic. With her wings stretched wide, the eagle spent much of her time soaring through the sky. There was nothing in the forest that could outrun her.
One day, a little turtle who was not afraid to show no mercy challenged the eagle to a race. The tortoise bragged, "I bet I can fly quicker than you can run."
As the eagle was used to being challenged, he simply laughed and accepted the tortoise's offer. Very well, she remarked. "The two of us are going to race each other. whoever makes it through the woods first is the victor."
The tortoise had no hope of beating the eagle in a footrace because neither animal was very swift on land. But he was intent on demonstrating his worth, so he began out at a steady clip.
However, the eagle extended her wings and took to the air, flying swiftly towards the goal despite the wind's resistance.
Very quickly, the eagle made it to the opposite side of the woodland, where she landed with a roar of victory.
However, the turtle had already crossed the finish line, much to her amazement.
The eagle responded with a trace of regret, "You are the slowest creature on land." "However, you also have the most resolve of everyone. You kept going even though you realized you were losing. Everybody can take something away from that."
The tortoise and the eagle became close friends as a result, and the terrapin realized that it didn't have to be the quickest animal in the forest to be valuable.
The lesson to be learned is that tenacity and resolve are as crucial as quickness and power. It's important to keep going even if it seems hopeless, because there's no point in giving up no matter how difficult things get.
