"Yertle the Turtle" by Dr. Seuss tells the story of Yertle, a power-hungry turtle who aspires to be the king of all he can see. He orders his fellow turtles to stack themselves beneath him so he can look out over his kingdom from the top. As the stack grows higher, Yertle becomes increasingly arrogant, but one small turtle named Mack speaks up, questioning Yertle’s greed for power. Mack’s brave protest leads to a turning point, showing that true strength comes from humility and solidarity. Through witty rhymes and whimsical illustrations, the story delivers a powerful message about leadership and empathy. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
