Lyrics<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pathu pathungi pammi nadakkum Kunjikkuzhimadiyan
\nAamachettanum ottakkaran muyalum koottukar
\nOrunalavar randuperum pandayam vechu
\nottappanthayam vechu
\nIzhayunnoraamayum payunnoru venmuyalum
\nIthil ninnum Aararinnavar sammanam nedum
\nOrupolakkannadakkam onnurangeedam
\nMuyalingane chinthichu kureneramurangippoyi
\nAthinullil Aamachettan sammanam nedi.<\/p>\n

Pathu Pathungi Meaning<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This song tells the story of the tortoise and the hare. “Creeping slowly and quietly (pathu pathungi pammi nadakkum), the little lazybones: brother tortoise (aamachettan) and the long-eared hare (muyal) are friends. One day the two of them made a bet and had a race.”<\/p>\n

“The crawling tortoise and the running white hare: which one of them will win the prize? The hare thought, I’ll just close my eyes and sleep a little, and he slept for a long time. Meanwhile brother tortoise won the prize!”<\/p>\n

The lesson: slow and steady wins the race. Children can act out the race, one creeping like the tortoise and one hopping like the hare.<\/p>\n
