The Fable of Birds and Tortoise

Once upon a time, there was a big feast in the sky, all the birds were invited to a feast by the people of the sky. Tortoise was very clever and very hungry and as soon as it heard about the great feast, it began to plan how it would travel to the sky.

Tortoise went to the birds home and asked if it could go with them. The birds agreed and they each give it a feather, with which it made a pair of wings for the Tortoise.

The great day came, and Tortoise and the birds set off on their journey to the sky.

Finally, the birds and Tortoise arrived at the party. The people of the sky invited the birds to eat the delicious food they had prepared, but then Tortoise asked, “For whom have you prepared this feast?”

“for you, because you are special animals,” replied the people on the sky.

Tortoise turned in the birds and said, “Remember i am is the most special animal, cause i am the only on Tortoise who can fly. You will eat after me.”

The birds waited angrily as Tortoise ate and drank most of the feast. Then they came forward to eat, but a few of them were too angry to eat. Before flying home, each bird took back the feather it had lent Tortoise unnoticely. So, there Tortoise stood full of food and drink, but without any wings to fly home.

When the feast is over, birds and Tortoise jumped back go home, but the tortoise was surprised because he lost his wings. So, the Tortoise fell and fell and fell and landed with a great crash on the ground. It wasn’t hurt but its shell broke into pieces. fortunately, there was a good doctor in the neighbourhood. Tortoise’s wife sent for him and he collected all the bits of Tortoise’s shell and stuck them together. That is why, Tortoise’s shell is not smooth.
