La liebre y la tortuga
Una liebre y una tortuga se retan a una carrera para ver quién de las dos es más rápida. Evidentemente la liebre parte en cabeza y en poco tiempo coge una gran ventaja sobre su lenta perseguidora. Al verse con la victoria en el bolsillo el lepórido se permite sentarse a descansar a la sombra de un árbol y cae dormido. Cuando despierta y cruza la meta no hay nadie para recibirla, la tortuga ya había llegado y ganado la carrera.

Tradition considers Greek fabulist Aesop as the author of Aesop's Fables , including "The Tortoise and the Hare" and "The Fox and the Grapes."
This credited ancient man told numerous now collectively known stories. None of his writings, if they ever existed, survive; despite his uncertain existence, people gathered and credited numerous tales across the centuries in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day. Generally human characteristics of animals and inanimate objects that speak and solve problems characterize many of the tales.
One can find scattered details of his life in ancient sources, including Aristotle, Herodotus, and Plutarch. An ancient literary work, called The Aesop Romance tells an episodic, probably highly fictional version of his life, including the traditional description of him as a strikingly ugly slave (δοῦλος), whose cleverness acquires him freedom as an adviser to kings and city-states. Older spellings of his name included Esop(e) and Isope. A later tradition, dating from the Middle Ages, depicts Aesop as a black Ethiopian. Depictions of Aesop in popular culture over the last two and a half millennia included several works of art and his appearance as a character in numerous books, films, plays, and television programs.
Abandoning the perennial image of Aesop as an ugly slave, the movie Night in Paradise (1946) cast Turhan Bey in the role, depicting Aesop as an advisor to Croesus, king; Aesop falls in love with a Persian princess, the intended bride of the king, whom Merle Oberon plays. Lamont Johnson also plays Aesop the Helene Hanff teleplay Aesop and Rhodope (1953), broadcast on hallmark hall of fame.
Brazilian dramatist Guilherme Figueiredo published A raposa e as uvas ("The Fox and the Grapes"), a play in three acts about the life of Aesop, in 1953; in many countries, people performed this play, including a videotaped production in China in 2000 under the title Hu li yu pu tao or 狐狸与葡萄 .
Beginning in 1959, animated shorts under the title Aesop and Son recurred as a segment in the television series Rocky and His Friends and The Bullwinkle Show, its successor. People abandoned the image of Aesop as ugly slave; Charles Ruggles voiced Aesop, a Greek citizen, who recounted for the edification of his son, Aesop Jr., who then delivered the moral in the form of an atrocious pun. In 1998, Robert Keeshan voiced him, who amounted to little more than a cameo in the episode "Hercules and the Kids" in the animated television series Hercules.
In 1971, Bill Cosby played him in the television production Aesop's Fables.
British playwright Peter Terson first produced the musical Aesop's Fables in 1983. In 2010, Mhlekahi Mosiea as Aesop staged the play at the Fugard theatre in Cape Town, South Africa.

Una fábula para recordar en muchos momentos al formularse preguntas.
Sería muy difícil olvidar una educación infantil juiciosa y dejar de correr o no seguir avanzando.
A veces somos liebres, a veces tortugas. A diferencia de dichos animales, nosotros podemos controlar nuestra hubris o perseverar incansablemente por el mismo camino.
Parece una fábula infantil, aunque realmente son las bases de culturas milenarias con incontables expresiones de lo que va más allá de una antropo-adaptación de la naturaleza
(Lo cual me parece muy natural)
Las asociaciones con la cultura occidental no pueden ser más cercanas. Lo vemos en personas que han logrado éxitos notorios, personales y también los no reconocidos.
También está muy vigente y de suma relevancia la toma de decisiones. ¿No es el tiempo, aparte de las circunstancias un elemento clave para asuntos de importancia? La ciencia y arte de dicha toma de decisiones tiene como pilar un caparazón y una pata de la suerte.
