Once upon a time there was a hare and a tortoise. There was a running competition. The tortoise, being ambitious, signed up for the competition and had to compete against the hare.
And the competition started. The hare won.
Moral of story: If you don't have the ability to do something, you can't do it.
And so the tortoise stopped signing up for running competitions.
2nd Moral: If you can't do it, give up lah.
The tortoise decided to try to take part again, but before that it removed its shell. It took him 1 whole month to recover, and finally he was fit to run again. Without the shell, minor injuries were as good as major ones after he had his shell removed, but he was ready to give up everything in life to win the race. He trained extremely hard, and signed up for the competition, once again.
He competed with the same hare who won every single race. Determined to outshine him for once, he overexerted himself and ran, but lost.
3rd Moral: No matter what you do, you cannot change yourself, so no point trying.
5min after the race ended, the tortoise went home, dejected, and with an extreme pain in the chest. The next day, everyone in the town which the tortoise had lived in was astounded to find a rotting smell from the tortoise's house. The tortoise had suffered from heart failure.
4th Moral: Don't overexert yourself, as there's no point (see Moral 3)
Remember, the greatest mistake is making one.
=D
