寓言故事：The Tortoise and the Hare
Original Story:
A slow-paced tortoise and a fast-running hare are both competing for a race. Despite the tortoise's pace, the hare always laughs at him and says, "You're too slow, tortoise! You'll never win this race!" The tortoise is determined to prove himself. The day of the race arrives, and the hare runs ahead with a carefree smile on his face. But after a while, the hare falls asleep, and the tortoise crawls up to the finish line. The tortoise wins the race, and everyone learns a valuable lesson: to never underestimate the power of perseverance.
Adapted Story:
The Pessimistic Tortoise and the Optimistic Hare
In this new story, the tortoise is still the same slow-paced character, but he has a new outlook on life. He always believes that no matter how slowly he may be going, he will eventually win. On the other hand, the Hare is still full of energy and optimism, but he tends to underestimate others' abilities. He often laughs at the tortoise's pace and says, "You're too slow, tortoise! You'll never catch up with me!"
One day, the two animals are competing in a race again. This time, the hare is even more confident than before, but he doesn't realize that he has already lost some of his speed due to age. The tortoise continues to crawl slowly but steadily forward, while the hare falls asleep again before even reaching the halfway point.
When the hare wakes up, he sees that the tortoise is already at the finish line. This time, everyone learns a valuable lesson: Never underestimate your opponents' abilities and always maintain a positive attitude towards life.
