The underdog tortoise, with unwavering determination and a never-give-up attitude, ultimately emerged victorious against all odds. Through this parable, Letter taught his players the value of persistence and the power of belief in oneself.

Another favorite story of Letter's revolved around a young sapling striving to grow amidst challenging circumstances.

This parable fostered a sense of resilience within the team, motivating them to overcome adversity and thrive in the face of challenges.
