Come closer... There are stories in this book that walk slowly...but stay with you long after you close the last page. Meet Tortoise. Not the fastest.Not the strongest. But always thinking. Always watching. In these tales, Tortoise tricks, schemes, learns-and sometimes fails. He outwits the mighty, deceives the careless, and occasionally deceives himself. He wins feasts he did not earn, loses gifts he did not respect, and discovers-again and again-that cleverness without wisdom has a cost. But these are not just stories. Some tales will make you smile. Some will make you pause. And some will stay quiet... until you understand them later. So open this book. Let's go on an adventure with Tortoise.
