The Hare and the Turtle

A Lebre e a Tartaruga

In this fable by Jean de La Fontaine, the hare was the undefeated winner of all races. With each competition, she collected more and more trophies, prizes and glorious images. However, she had less and less incentive to run, so certain was her victory. Until an unexpected proposal from a turtle appeared for a change in the disputes and in their lives.
