Modern Turtles and Modern People


Dear my reader,

I highly expect that you knew the race between a hare and a turtle, one of Aesop’s fables, which the turtle won because of hare’s asleep on the way with underestimation on the turtle’s running ability. Any way, have you been read about the modern race between hare and turtle? Once, I have read it in a book. In a modern race between hare and turtle, turtle won again. The challenger was also a turtle. But this time, the hare did not sleep. Hare did not underestimate on running ability of turtle. As naturally, hare can run absolutely much, much, much faster than turtle. So, how that happened? How could turtle win over the hare?

When turtle asked hare for the race, turtle said that, “Hi my friend, this time, I won’t underestimate on your running ability and I won’t sleep on the way. I could run my fastest, till I cross the finished line.” The turtle said “It was fine,” with a smile. Hare trust on turtle though he did not understand why turtle challenged on him. And hare also did not know that the turtle had a twin brother who was exactly the same in size, weight, voice, almost everything the same.

As soon as the race began, the hare run the fastest as he could. Turtle run, too. Of cause, hare could run fifty times faster than the turtle. Nevertheless, the challenged turtle sent a message to his twin brother by iPhone, already. When exhausted hare got the finished line, turtle was already there. Hare did not believe his eyes. He knew how he passed over the turtle even in the beginning line. Whatever, the winner was the Turtle in the race.

Question:

(1) How many modern turtles have you seen in your life time?

Note: Next time, I will tell you about Sense Power of the Snakes. Thanks!
