《我是一隻烏龜》（原創）
我是一隻烏龜。
相信大家都會對我很熟悉，因為我就是《龜兔賽跑》裡的那隻烏龜。
我不明白為何兔子常常都找我比賽，明明不用比賽，大家也會知道結局。
除了兔子因為睡覺而輸了比賽的那一次，他每次都會贏，每次都會在眾人面前炫耀自己，告訴別人我有多慢、有多愚蠢。
我聽多了，也麻木了。450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkQbzIAAlp
彷彿我的出生就是為了襯托那隻兔子，別人也只會在說起那隻兔子時，才想起我。
今日，兔子又找我比賽了。
每次比賽前，我都會鬱鬱寡歡地在河邊來來回回踱步，但從來沒有人會看到我、關心我。他們只會取笑我，只會在河邊站一日，是動物界最沒有生產力、沒有貢獻的生物。
但今天有點不一樣。
有隻很老的山羊看到我。他和我一樣慢。
「烏龜啊，烏龜，你為什麼在這踱步？」
「你看得到我在踱步？」我驚訝地問。
「我看到你在煩惱。」他的回答也是十分緩慢。
我點點頭，「我在想，為什麼兔子總要和我比較？為什麼別人總要取笑我慢、只看到我的不足？為什麼受傷的永遠是我……」我懊惱地低下頭。
「我看得出你很聰明，因為你知道，他們看到的只是你的不足，而不是看到你的全部，真正的你是怎樣，你知道嗎？」
「我……不知道。」我的頭更低了。
「你知道我為什麼看到你嗎？」
我搖搖頭。
「因為我足夠慢。你說，慢一定是不好嗎？你會因為我的慢而覺得我不好嗎？」
我搖搖頭。「相反，我覺得你很好、很有智慧，因為你看到我、也看懂我。」
他緩緩地點點頭。「所以好不好，不在乎你做了什麼，是在乎你怎樣演繹。別人看到我的慢，只會覺得我老、沒有價值，但你看到的，是我有智慧、會明白人。所以慢一定是缺點嗎？」
我又搖搖頭。
我知道沒有了老山羊的慢，我根本不會被人看見，也不會被安撫……
他娓娓道來。「而且你的特質只有慢嗎？你的努力和堅持呢？你明知一隻兔子本質應該跑得快過一隻烏龜，但你仍然不怕困難、願意參賽、堅持最後，甚至有過勝利。難道你這些特質不好嗎？」
我猶豫了。
「我說你這次一定會贏的。」他緩緩轉身離開，又拋下一句：「多看看自己的長處吧。」
我迷茫地看著他的背影，想著他的話。突然，我的眼睛明亮了。
到了比賽時間，我問兔子：「你是否在任何的情況和環境下都有信心贏我？」
「是的。」兔子自豪地說。
「那我們在河裡比賽吧！」
兔子臉色一變。
「怕嗎？」我故意激他。
「當然不！」
結果，這次我贏了。
我沒有炫耀、沒有取笑，因為我知道自己的價值——不是比較而來的。

I Am a Turtle450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4YhupbM9c
(The English version is mainly translated according to the Chinese version by AI – deepseek)
I am a turtle.
I believe everyone knows me well because I am the turtle from The Tortoise and the Hare.
I don’t understand why the hare always asks me to race. Everyone knows how it will end, so why bother? Except for the one when the hare lost because he fell asleep.
Apart from that, he wins every single time. As usual, he shows off in front of everyone and tells them how slow and foolish I am.
I’ve heard it so many times that I’ve become numb to it.450Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9VPrXYDxX
It feels like I was born just to be a backdrop for the hare. Others only think of me when they talk about him.
Today, the hare came to ask me for another race.
Before every race, I pace back and forth by the river, feeling gloomy. But no one ever sees me, no one cares. They only make fun of me, saying I just stand by the river all day, the most unproductive and useless creature in the animal kingdom.
But today was a little different.
A very old goat saw me. He was as slow as me.
“Turtle, oh turtle, why are you pacing here?”
“You see me pacing?” I asked, surprised.
“I see that you’re troubled,” he replied, just as slowly.
I nodded. “I’ve been thinking—why does the hare always compare himself to me? Why do others always make fun of me for being slow and only see my weaknesses? Why am I always the one who gets hurt…” I lowered my head sadly.
“I can tell you’re very smart, because you know that what they see is only your weakness, not your whole self. So, who are you, really? Do you know?”
“I… I don’t know.” I hung my head even lower.
“Do you know why I see you?”
I shook my head.
“Because I am slow enough. Tell me, is being slow necessarily bad? Do you think I’m no good just because I’m slow?”
I shook my head. “No. In fact, I think you’re very kind and wise, because you see me and truly understand me.”
He nodded slowly. “So, whether something is good or bad doesn’t depend on what you do, but on how you interpret it. When others see my slowness, they only see an old, worthless goat. But what you see is someone with wisdom, someone who understands others. So is slowness really a flaw?”
I shook my head again.
I realized that without the old goat’s slowness, I would never have been seen, never been comforted…
He continued gently, “And are you only about slowness? What about your effort and perseverance? You knew from the start that a hare is naturally faster than a turtle, yet you still faced the challenge, you still showed up, you still kept going—and you even won once. Aren’t these good qualities?”
I hesitated.
“I believe you’ll win this time,” he said, slowly turning to leave. Then he added, “Remember to see your own strengths.”
I watched his back, lost in thought, thinking about what he said. Suddenly, my eyes lit up.
When it was time for the race, I asked the hare, “Are you confident you can beat me, in any situation, under any condition?”
“Yes,” said the hare proudly.
“Then let’s race in the river!”
The hare’s expression changed.
“Scared?” I teased him on purpose.
“Of course not!”
In the end, I won this time.
I didn’t show off, I didn’t make fun of him—because I know my own value now. It doesn’t come from comparisons.
