May be you are right about culturally integrated fables. As Malaysia is an ex-British colony, I grew up with many tales which are common to the Anglo-Saxon’s culture including The Hare & The Tortoise. In fact, I grew up thinking “slow and steady wins the race” was better than “faster but arrogant” because of it.

Nice print!

My husband also hadn’t heard of him, I think the fables have never been translated in Dutch so we didn’t grow up with them…

Isn’t it funny how culturally different our countries can be sometimes? I can’t believe you’ve never heard of Aesop! And the Tortoise and the Hare story is FAMOUS!!!

But then again… I remember sitting at your dining table a few months ago and you nearly had a heart-attack that I didn’t know who Prince was….

So I’m not poking fun at anyone for not being culturally aware!!!
