    About this ebook

    “Tortoise Triumphant,” also known as “The Tortoise and the Elephant” or “The Tortoise, The Elephant, and The Hippo,” is a traditional tale from Africa. It has been told perhaps for centuries. A variation of the tale exists in South America, and an evolution of the tale exists in the American South where Africans were brought as slaves. The tale prizes cleverness as a way to overcome struggles in life.

    As you read this story YOU are the tortoise, and the choices you make will determine whether or not you truly are triumphant and your tale ends up happily ever after. Good luck!
