Once upon a time, in a lush green forest, there lived a young fox named Spark . Spark thought he was very clever, and therefore always wanted to compete.
He would wander through the forest, challenging everyone, asking, “Who wants to compete with me?”
One day, she had a running race with a rabbit. The rabbit was fast, but Kıvıl kept stopping while running and talking to her surroundings. The result? Kıvıl lost.
The next day he raced a tortoise.
“I’m sure I’ll win this,” he said to himself. But this time too, he didn’t take the race seriously and indulged in a nap. The tortoise patiently walked on and won again.
Wherever Kıvıl went, she lost.
- A fear of heights emerged during the bird flying competition.
- He couldn’t get used to the water in the swimming race with the fish,
- He got tired quickly while climbing with the squirrel.
The fox was very sad.
“I can’t do anything right,” he thought.
One day he went to the old owl and told him his problem.
The owl smiled:
“Perhaps the problem isn’t that you’re losing, butthat you don’t know why you’re competing,” he said.
“Not everyone has to be good at everything.”
These words stuck in Kıvıl’s mind.
The next day, a fire broke out in the forest. Everyone was in a panic. But Kıvıl used the shortcuts she knew very well and guided the animals to safety.
Nobody competed that day, but everyone thanked Kıvıl .
Kıvıl understood at that moment:
Winning isn’t always about competing.
Sometimes the greatest achievement is helping others.
From that day on, Kıvıl was still losing races, but she wasn’t upset anymore. Because she had discovered her own strength .
The Message of the Fairy Tale
Everyone has different talents. What’s important is not competing with others, but knowing yourself .
