The Talkative Tortoise

Once upon a time there lived three friends and they were very sweet to each other. There were two birds and one tortoise who was very talkative. The birds lived on the tree and the tortoise in the nearby lake.

Together they had lot of fun, but one day the river dried up and the tortoise had no home. So the birds asked him to hold one end of the stick in his mouth

and they held the other and flew. They warned him not to open his mouth but when the tortoise saw the children clapping at the sight the tortoise opened his mouth and fell on to the ground and died.
