tAlkAtive tortoise

Once there lived a tortoise and two swans in a small pool in the forest. They

were quite good friends of one another. The swans were hardworking
and liked to speak less. But the tortoise was talkative. He liked to talk
more. Even a five-minute-rest for his mouth was a strange thing for the

swans.

One year the forest had little rainfall. The pond dried up. They had to

shift to another place and there was a problem. The swans would fly far
to a new pool but what would the tortoise do? He can’t fly, he can’t run,

he can just crawl which would take months for him to reach a new pool.
