Aesop and Son - The Jack Rabbits and the Mule

Aesop tells the story of a group of jack rabbits who are known for their speed and agility. They boast about their abilities until they encounter a slow but steady mule. Underestimating the mule, the rabbits challenge him to a race, confident in their victory. However, the mule's persistence and determination lead to an unexpected outcome. Aesop’s son questions the moral, prompting a humorous discussion about overconfidence and the value of perseverance. The fable highlights that speed isn't everything, and sometimes steady effort wins the day.
