The Clever Snail

The Clever  Snail  

Everybody knows that deer are fast running animals and snails are well-known for their slow movement.  However, the deer can be defeated by the snails because of their cleverness.

One day the deer was challenged in running competition by the snail. Certainly, the deer laughed out loud and proudly said that if he lost, the sky would collapse. Then, the snail and the deer agreed to held the running competition at a river. The snail had arranged his fabrication in such a way so that later he was able to defeat the deer.

So now the competition began. When the signal, “one, two, three and go!“, was shouted, the deer started running along the river. After running for a moment, the deer called the snail to convince that the snail was left behind. Surprisingly, the snail answered, “I’m here, deer!” It happened over and over; whenever the deer called the snail, the snail would appear in front of him. The deer reached the finish line that had been dealt before. However, the snail had reached the finish line first. So the deer was lost by the snail because of snail’s cleverness.

It was revealed that there were hundreds and even thousands snails lined under the water along the running track. Any time the deer called the snail, one snail that hid under the water would appear in front of the deer and it happened continuously. That was why the snail could defeat the deer in the running competition although the snail was slow. Finally, the deer gave up and lost.

Moral value:

Knowledge is power (people who know more than others often control those who know less although their physical appearance are big)
