Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived a wise and clever aged tortoise named Ben. Ben loved to spend his days basking in the warm sun and sharing his wisdom with the village children.

One sunny afternoon, a group of curious kids gathered around Ben as he lazily munched on some juicy leaves. The kids were fascinated by Ben's slow and steady movements.

"Ben, why are you so slow?" asked one of the kids.

Ben smiled and said, "My young friends, speed is not everything. I may be slow, but I am steady and patient. I take my time to enjoy the beauty around me and to think carefully before acting." The kids looked at each other in confusion. They were used to rushing around and playing fast-paced games.

Just then, a strong gust of wind blew through the village, knocking over a nearby basket of fruit. The kids quickly scrambled to pick up the scattered fruit, but in their haste, they ended up knocking over more baskets and creating a bigger mess.

Ben, however, slowly and steadily made his way over to the mess. He carefully picked up one piece of fruit at a time, taking his time to make sure everything was tidy again. The kids watched in amazement as Ben worked his magic. They realized that Ben's slow and steady approach had actually saved the day.

From that day on, the kids looked up to Ben as a role model. They learned the value of patience, persistence, and taking their time to do things right.

As Ben would say, "Slow and steady wins the race, my young friends!"

MORAL LESSON
