The Tortoise and the Geese

Once upon a time, a tor-toise lived by a pond.

The tor-toise had two geese friends.

One day, the pond dried up.

The geese decided to fly to a new pond.

The tor-toise wanted to go with them.

The geese had an idea.

They told the tor-toise to bite a stick.

Each goose held an end of the stick.

They warned the tor-toise not to talk.

The geese lifted the tor-toise into the air.

As they flew, people below saw them.

They shouted, "Look at that funny sight!"

The tor-toise opened his mouth to speak.

He fell to the ground and broke his shell.

The tor-toise learned to listen to good advice.

Moral:

Always listen to wise advice and control your impulses.
