I am not sure about you but some of us grew up with stories like “the tortoise and the hare” and know very well the moral values that it instills in us. A story that teaches us to be humble and never underestimate others we perceive as weaker than ourselves. “Slow and steady wins the race” is in fact the essence of this famous story.
Back then we can imagine a huge green tortoise and a hare with very long pointy ears.

If the story of the tortoise and the hare is rewritten today, how will the two animals look like?
