The jungle king assigns a diplomatic mission to the two rivals, but the thorny road and two rivers make solo travel impossible. After careful planning, they set a shared strategy—each uses their strengths to help the other—so both can complete the task within the one-day limit and return with the neighboring king’s thoughts.","The Hare & the Tortoise (Again!) Venkatramana Gowda  \nPadmanabh  \nDo you remember the Great Race between the hare and the tortoise? For a long time, noone in the entire animal kingdom could talk about anything but the Great Race and its two contestants.  \nWe all know that the rabbit was defeated because he was lazy and overconfident. We know that the tortoise won the race because he was slow and steady. The forest animals knew this too, and continued to respect both creatures equally.  \nEven the two competitors remained friends. The tortoise did not assume airs because he had won, and the hare, realizing he had been defeated fair and square, bore the tortoise no grudge.  \nMany months passed. The king of the jungle where the hare and the tortoise lived had some important matters to discuss with the king of the neighbouring jungle. But the first king could not leave his jungle just then. He decided, instead, to send the hare and the tortoise to the neighbouring king, as his representatives.  \n”At least one of you must go to the neighbouring kingdom,” ordered the king, when the hare and the tortoise had presented themselves.  \n”I want you to discuss certain important matters with the king there, and come back to me with his thoughts on those matters.” ”Now go!” he said, as he dismissed them.”And mind, you only have a day to complete the task.”  \nThe road to the neighbouring kingdom was not smooth or easy. It was rocky and full of thorns. There were also two rivers to cross on the way.  \nAfter some thought, both the hare and the tortoise realized that neither of them could complete the task alone. They had to travel together. The plan was for the hare to carry the tortoise over the thorny parts of the route, and for the tortoise to carry the hare across the two rivers.  \nThe next day, they collected the various messages from their king and were ready to go. The hare made short work of the thorny parts of the route with his giant loping strides, while the tortoise held on for dear life.","cbCaipwVrOVMYtkb","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipwVrOVMYtkb","pdf",909332,2,17,"English","en",105,"# Narrative Setup\n## The Great Race Legacy\n# The Kingdom’s Mission\n## Order and Time Limit\n#
