dd (4) has been exposed a lot lately to the old tortoise and hare fable. It just seems to be popping up everywhere. "slow and steady wins the race". She gets now that the rabbit lost because he was so overconfident and he stopped to snooze etc while the turtle plodded on. However she has analyzed it and come to her own solution.
When I was leaving to go running this weekend she said "FAST and steady REALLY wins the race"

Couldnt argue with her there!
