Damn, that's a lot fucking darker than I'd thought it'd get on reading the title of the fable.

It was actually in my management textbook XD

I think it'd be rarer to find a fable that wasn't dark.

Tortoise and the hare isn't particularly dark.

You obviously didn't read the version where the hare gets eaten.

Tortoise kills hare in horrifying video. More at 6.

Edit: it was a seabird

I heard of it from a Reddit comment about an easter egg location in Diablo 3 called "The Fowl Lair." It's filled with chickens and a single Greasy Pig.
