The story of "The Turtle and the Rabbit Run a Race" teaches a few lessons. What lesson does it teach about cheating?
"The Turtle and the Rabbit Run a Race" personally taught me if I don't work hard, and I cheat to earn the success I want; I will get the negative revenge of my action. The turtle won the race without working hard. If a person doesn’t work hard he/she will definitely get a negative result of what they deserve.
Better. I'll make a few corrections (below), but this is much clearer in meaning!

What lesson does it teach about small friends?
2.
"The Turtle and the Rabbit Run a Race" taught us that small friends can always help us in our worse times.
You're welcome.
Make sure you understand why I made the changes in that last sentence. If you don't know why using "they" is incorrect in that sentence, let me know.
... in our worst times.
(Use "worse" when comparing only two things; use "worst" when comparing three or more things.)
I am going to take a couple online lessons to help me on my english grammar.
I fixed number 2. Also I was wondering if I am answering the questions correctly.
Thank you so much for helping :)

3-How does the story explain the appearance of box turtle shells?
3-
"The Turtle and the Rabbit Run a Race" explains that the turtles shell is spotted from the result of the rabbits beating.
#2 - sounds fine
#3 - Are you sure the spots are the result of the rabbit's beating? or the ants' sewing?
This is also a really good and comprehensive website for all things grammar and usage!

The INDEX is especially helpful when you are looking for something specific.
OOh yeah at the end the ants sew him I was confused because it said earlier
"Break him all up. He tore it all up on the back. That's what you see there now, that's where the marks in there."
But it is clear now
Thank you soooooo sooo much I study online and i find english to be really hard to study online.

Is this story more like a fable or more like a myth? Explain your reasoning.
I think the story was more like a fable, because it is using talking animals as characters. Also the story is teaching a moral at the end. I personally don't think the story was a myth because myths explain phenomenons, and historical stories myths also explain how things happen or why they happen myths are usually fictional explanations, and ancient stories.
#3 is fine.
