For my english class, I have to rewrite the classic story "The Tortoise and the Hare". I have to change the plot completely and use different characters. Could you please help me come up with an interesting plot, but still have a moral in the end?

The moral was "slow and steady wins the race", right? Well make the story like a kid makes sacrifices to complete college and becomes succusful, versus that popular kid everybody thinks is gonna be successful/famous because of his looks, popularity, and talent. So of course the second kid is arrogant and cocky (the Hare). His music career is taking off and he begins to experience some finacial rewards like leasing cars and penthouse hotel room. Meanwhile the college kid is getting good grades, working part time until he finally graduates, and lands a job where he had been interning. Now the b-list celebrity kid isn't so hot anymore and slowly but surely he is becoming a has been. Fast forward to the end of the race: High school reuion. Celebrity kid is driving a bucket and the college kid now owns the company he was interning at as a college student.

Maybe change it to "The Rabbit and the Hare." Have the Hare try to cheat to win the race, but of course the Rabbit plays by the rules and wins like he should. The moral: Cheaters never win.

This has merit but a subject that I do not take lightly. I lost a brother years ago to suicide and looking back through the years it seems that youth can be very suseptible to words, songs like "Highway to Hell" and glamorization of the act. Art takes all forms and needs to be expressed, just some caution at times is what I would advise. The poem although is good.

How about a story about two students given a homework assignment: one who works diligently, the other cheats by asking people at Yahoo!answers to do it for him, thinking it will be quicker and easier. However, the answerers are wise to his ploy and give him misleading replies ... so the slow, steady, hard-working student deservedly gets the best marks when the assignments are handed in!

How about having the hare win because he's a go-getter. Maybe a cheetah and a sloth.
