The Great Book of Nature - Episode- THE TURTLE
Episode Summary:
A tortoise accepts the challenge of a hare in a contest consisting of a
set of materials to make buckets, and then use them to fill a large tub
with water. The hare being the much the fastest of the two by nature,
thinking it will easily win after delivering nine buckets of water,
stops to rest, convinced that the tortoise will never be able to catch
up. But the tortoise is smarter than the hare, and fills the tub after
making only one bucket that has a smaller diameter than the hare’s. The
moral of the story is that those who are too confident tend to
underestimate the situation, and so risk arriving empty-handed.
