slow and steady wins the race

I wondered about that story before. imagining it is a story with a dark truth.
The rabbit actually wins in the end.

[Ojisama]

That story is all about the pitfalls of arrogance and overconfidence. Remaining focused and dedicated to the task in hand means that I will win.

[TheRedWarrior]

There could be a darker story for example
Only reason why the turtle wins is because the rabbit lets him win because the winner
is then eaten by the farmer and the loser gets to run around another day.

[Ojisama]

The moral to that darker tale is that the Farmer is the ultimate winner, so just watch me ploughing them fields.

[TheRedWarrior]

A lot of stories are lightened to make then likable I guess.

[Ojisama]

Ha ha. Original versions of Fairy Tales were deliberately dark because they were cautionary tales. Recent story tellers have lightened them to avoid upsetting modern sensibilities. Then again, not many of us need to worry about wolves and bears when we go into the woods. A Modern Tale would be Goldilocks and the Three Animal Rights Activists.

By the way...still winning.

[TheRedWarrior]

Disney storytellers are responsible for making a lot of the stories a little lighter for the younger and older audiences.

Now I'm winning

[Ojisama]

You're busy watching Disney films so now I'm winning.
