Donna Price / American PressA swiftly moving box turtle rustling through leaves and a rabbit resting under the shade of an oak tree seem to be reenacting AesopÕs Fable ÒThe Tortoise and the HareÓ Sunday in a Lake Charles yard. In that story, a hare ridicules a slow-moving tortoise. The tortoise, tired of the hareÕs boasting, challenges him to a race. The hare is so confident heÕll win that he takes a nap midway through the race. When he awakes, he finds that the slow and steady tortoise has won the race.
