This document is a Spanish translation of a fable about a turtle named Uga who is always late finishing her tasks. [Uga decides she needs to change and put in more effort after being criticized by the other forest animals. An ant tells Uga that what's important is finishing tasks through perseverance, not speed. Uga promises to try harder. After a few days of struggling, Uga is happy with her progress and realizes that happiness comes from completing small tasks, not impossible goals.]

- Wow, everything goes wrong! Uga, the turtle, constantly laments.
And it is not for less: she is always late, she is the last to finish her tasks, she almost never gets awards for speed and, to top it off, she is a sleeper.
- This has to change! She decided one fine day, fed up with her forest companions who rebuked her for her little effort in carrying out her tasks.
And it was that he had chosen not to even try to carry out activities as simple as piling up dry leaves fallen from the trees in autumn, or removing pebbles on the way to the pond where they splashed on hot summer days.
- Why worry about doing a job that my colleagues end up doing? Better to dedicate myself to playing and resting.
- Not a great idea, said an ant. What really counts is not getting the job done in record time; the important thing is to finish it by doing it the best you know, because you will always have the reward of having achieved it.
Not all jobs need fast workers. There are tasks that require time and effort. If you don't try you will never know what you are capable of, and you will always be left wondering if you have ever achieved it. Therefore, it is better to try and not get it than not to try and live with doubt. Consistency and perseverance are good allies to achieve what we set out to do; therefore I advise you to try it. It may even surprise you what you are capable of.
- Gee, ant, you touched my fibers! This is what I needed: someone to help me understand the value of effort; I promise I will try.
A few days passed and Uga, the turtle, struggled in his chores.
She was happy with herself because every day she got what she wanted because she was aware that she had done everything possible to achieve it.
- I have found my happiness: what matters is not setting big and impossible goals, but finishing all the small tasks that contribute to achieving great ends.

TRADUCCION
- ¡Caramba, todo me sale mal!, se lamenta constantemente Uga, la tortuga.
Y es que no es para menos: siempre llega tarde, es la última en acabar sus tareas, casi nunca consigue premios a la rapidez y, para colmo es una dormilona.
- ¡Esto tiene que cambiar!, se propuso un buen día, harta de que sus compañeros del bosque le recriminaran por su poco esfuerzo al realizar sus tareas.
Y es que había optado por no intentar siquiera realizar actividades tan sencillas como amontonar hojitas secas caídas de los árboles en otoño, o quitar piedrecitas de camino hacia la charca donde chapoteaban los calurosos días de verano. - ¿Para qué preocuparme en hacer un trabajo que luego acaban haciendo mis compañeros? Mejor es dedicarme a jugar y a descansar.
- No es una gran idea, dijo una hormiguita. Lo que verdaderamente cuenta no es
hacer el trabajo en un tiempo récord; lo importante es acabarlo realizándolo lo mejor que sabes, pues siempre te quedará la recompensa de haberlo conseguido.
No todos los trabajos necesitan de obreros rápidos. Hay labores que requieren tiempo y esfuerzo. Si no lo intentas nunca sabrás lo que eres capaz de hacer, y siempre te quedarás con la duda de si lo hubieras logrados alguna vez.
Por ello, es mejor intentarlo y no conseguirlo que no probar y vivir con la duda. La constancia y la perseverancia son buenas aliadas para conseguir lo que nos proponemos; por ello yo te aconsejo que lo intentes. Hasta te puede sorprender de lo que eres capaz.
- ¡Caramba, hormiguita, me has tocado las fibras! Esto es lo que yo necesitaba:
alguien que me ayudara a comprender el valor del esfuerzo; te prometo que lo intentaré.
Pasaron unos días y Uga, la tortuga, se esforzaba en sus quehaceres.
Se sentía feliz consigo misma pues cada día conseguía lo poquito que se proponía porque era consciente de que había hecho todo lo posible por lograrlo.
- He encontrado mi felicidad: lo que importa no es marcarse grandes e imposibles
metas, sino acabar todas las pequeñas tareas que contribuyen a lograr grandes fines.
