Question
Describe an interesting story you know well.
Sample answer
Some of the Aesop's Fables are very well-known in our country and many people tell these stories without even knowing the origin of those stories. Some of the stories have been little bit modified with the context and people of our country and some of them remain intact. We have even read some of Aesop’ stories in our text book and almost all of the citizens of our country know those stories.
One such well-known stories from Aesop is the story of ‘The Hare & the Tortoise’ that people often tells others as advise and to the child to entertain and advice them. I heard this story from my grandfather for the first time an it was almost 20 years ago. Later I read this story in my text book in my grade 4.
That was an interesting story that has a good moral and lesson. The story telling of my grandfather was amazing and he made this story much more appealing and as I have read it in my text book, I still remember this story. The story starts with a hare and a tortoise. The hare often made fun of the tortoise for being very slow and mocked him all the time. The hare mocked the tortoise if he ever reaches to any place at all with this unbelievably slow speed. A competition was arranged they both started their race when all other animals of the jungle were present to witness this. The hare started run and soon was out of sight while tortoise stated walking very slowly. After a while the hare felt it ridiculous to run with a tortoise and decided to take a nap until the tortoise could be seen nearby. The tortoise meanwhile kept going with a slow by steady pace and after a while passed the place where the hare was in deep sleep. The hare slept peacefully and when he woke up, the tortoise had almost reached the finish line. The hare then ran very swiftly with his best effort but could not overtake the tortoise in time. Thus the tortoise won the race with his steadiness and determination even after being slow.
The story was a great example of teaching children the importance of steadiness and determination and thus has become a very popular story in our country. We often use this story to teach others that do not boast on your ability, the race is not always to the swift, do not make fun of others even if you are superior to him, so not underestimate the ability of others, be persistent on something you do and do not waste time idly when you have a task to finish. Thus this story has become a popular story that bears many morals and lessons.
