An interesting realtion to the fable of the Hare and the Tortoise, this Chocktaw tale explains why turtles shells are cracked and why we never see Rabbit racing Turtle today. This has a very didactic undertone of cooperation while incorporating the trickster who finally shows the bully not to mess with physically weaker animals.
