The Tortoise and the Hare.
Wherein the Hare has just now noticed that the Tortoise is almost to the finish line, and is struggling in vain to catch up.


I read that book. Liked it!

1. I think it's more like the grasshopper and the ants
The ants have been busy, and now the grasshopper is wondering where its next meal is coming from...

2. It's not over yet. On to Texas and Ohio. We'll see who in the end is the

6. Nice graphic to those fables. It's uncanny how much the animals seem to represent the candidates.
