THE TORTOISE AND THE DUCKS
|
The Tortoise, you know, conveys his home on his back. Regardless of how hard he attempts, he can’t venture out from home. They state that Jupiter rebuffed him along these lines since he was such an apathetic stay-at-home that he would not go to Jupiter’s wedding, notwithstanding when particularly welcomed. After numerous years, Tortoise started to wish he had gone to that wedding. When he perceived how joyously the winged animals flew about and how the Rabbit and the Chipmunk and the various creatures ran deftly by, continuously anxious to see everything there was to be seen, the Tortoise felt tragic and malcontented. He needed to see the world as well, also, there he was with a house on his back and minimal short legs that could barely drag him along.
One the day he met a couple of Ducks and disclosed to them all his issue. “We can assist you with seeing the world,” said the Ducks. “Grab hold of this stick with your teeth and we will convey you far up in the air where you can see the entire farmland. Be that as it may, stay silent or you will be heartbroken.” The Tortoise was happy to be sure. He held onto the stick solidly with his teeth, the two Ducks grabbed hold of it one at each end, furthermore, away they cruised up toward the mists. Simply then a Crow flew by. He was particularly astounded at the weird sight and cried:
“This must without a doubt be the King of Tortoises!” “Why absolutely – ” started the Tortoise. Be that as it may, as he opened his mouth to state these stupid words he lost his hang on the stick, and down he tumbled to the ground, where he was dashed to pieces on a stone.
