🐢 The Slow Turtle and the Shiny Moon
Long ago, by a quiet little lake, there lived a turtle named Timo.
Timo was slower than everyone else. The rabbits teased him, the birds flew past him, and even the frogs laughed as they hopped away.
At night, Timo would sit by the water and look up at the big, glowing Moon.
“I wish I could be fast like the others,” he whispered sadly.
One night, the Moon shone brighter and spoke softly,
“Dear Timo, you may be slow, but you are steady. You never give up, and that makes you strong.”
The next morning, all the animals decided to race up a small hill.
The rabbits jumped quickly, the frogs bounced high, and the birds flew halfway—but soon they all grew tired and stopped.
Step by step, little Timo kept moving.
He didn’t rush, he didn’t stop—he just kept going. Finally, he reached the very top of the hill.
All the animals cheered, “Hooray for Timo! You did it!”
Timo looked up at the shining Moon and smiled.
He finally understood that being patient and steady could take him farther than speed ever could.
🌟 Moral of the Story
