‘Slow and steady wins the race,’ or so says the tortoise to the hare.
It’s certainly up for debate whether or not references to Aesop’s fairy tales will mean anything to those 18 or under these days. Guaranteed, The Tortoise and The Hare will be cancelled at some stage. I personally don’t see how there could be anything politically incorrect about a small mammal and a reptile running a race, but I could probably find something if I tried (or was willing to be offended by the fact that both creatures weren’t sufficiently applauded for ‘trying their best’).
