- Tortoise and the Hare
- Although technically not a story about turtles, the Tortoise and the Hare is just too famous a tale to pass up.
In the story, the tortoise is mocked by the hare for being slow. They race and the tortoise, while slower, wins the race by keeping at it, teaching us the value of determination and perserverance.
