“The Tortoise and the Hare” with apologies to Lift from Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive

Prompt: Write the story of the tortoise and the hare as told by Lift in Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere, except the tortoise is a chull and the hare is a Ryshadium.

“Yo, you wanna hear a story?” asked Lift. “I’ve got a good one for you. It’s about this slow and steady chull, who was the butt of everyone’s jokes. And then there was this Ryshadium, who was always showing off, like it was hot stuff. You know how they are.”

“So one day, the Ryshadium challenged the chull to a race. And of course, the Ryshadium takes off like a bullet. It’s so fast, it’s like a blur. Meanwhile, the chull is still trudging along, step by step. But you know what? The chull doesn’t care. It just keeps moving forward, like it’s got all the time in the world.”

“Then the Ryshadium, it gets all cocky, like it’s so far ahead it can take a nap. And that’s exactly what it does. It lies down and goes to sleep, while the chull keeps going. Slow and steady, remember?”

“And you know what? The chull wins. It crosses the finish line, and the Ryshadium is still sleeping. And everyone is like, ‘Whoa, I guess slow and steady really does win the race.'”

Lift grinned. “So there you have it. The moral of the story is, don’t be so quick to judge. Just because someone’s slow, doesn’t mean they’re not gonna get there eventually. And just because someone’s fast, doesn’t mean they’re gonna win. You gotta pace yourself, you know? Take it one step at a time. It’s not about the finish line, it’s about the journey.”
