Swan And A Turtle Story
Next to a pond there was a turtle and two swans. They were good friends and used to tell stories to each other. Suddenly, there was a bad drought for a year. Then one among the Swan asked, “How can we live here without water, this pond is almost drying up and no more water?”
The tortoise said, “Don’t worry, dude, let’s find a way.” Immediately another Swan said, “There is no way we have to fly away, but you’ll be here, because you walk very slowly, and we will not leave this place alone without you.”
After thinking for a while, the tortoise said, “Hey! I have a great idea, guys. First you have to go and look for a pond with lot of water and find it.
When you come back, bring a long stick. So that I will grab in the middle of that stick with my mouth. You both hold the edges of the stick using your claws. So that we can fly away to the other pond and live happily. This will be the best idea.”
When the Swans heard it, they said, “It will definitely work. But when we fly, you should not open your mouth. Otherwise, you will fall down”. Saying that, they three started to make their journey. Turtle was very proud to think about its idea.
As fast as the tortoise could, the tortoise moved with its little legs and grabbed the stick with its mouth. Then the birds spread their wings and started flying soon. Let’s fly over the clouds, they said.
The tortoise thought to itself, “I can not believe I’m flying, I’m so smart to think of such an idea.” On the way there was a city. The people who were down were looking at them saying, look a turtle is flying with swans.
The tortoise was very proud to hear about what the people below said. The tortoise also got angry because people did not know that it was the idea of tortoise.
The people started to appreciate the Swan saying that the swans were intelligent. The turtle got more angry and opened its mouth and shouted, “That’s my idea.”
The tortoise fell from the top very fast, forgetting that it should not open its mouth. The tortoise’s proud nature made the swans lose their friend. There is nothing that they can do about it. Only swans fly to the new pond.

Don’t be over proud
