Education English | Narrative Text : A Tortoise | Once, there was a tortoise that was incredibly, it could talk incessantly for hours without getting any fatigue . However, its fellow forest companions were not so fortunate. They grew increasingly irritate with the tortoise since its speeches were always borring and long winded.
One summer the forest was affected by a terrible drought. The only lake in the entire forest which provided water began to dry up and out to look for alternative source and eventually decided to move to a nearby forest which had a big water filled lake.
However, the poor tortoise was in no mood to rejoice. It was too slow moving reach the forest in time and asked around for help. After difficulty it managed to find two kindly crows which were willing to help.
They came up with a brilliant plan that required the tortoise to clasp tightly to a branch with its mouth.The branch would then be carried by both birds with their legs to the new lake. The plan was soon underway and the tortoise was ferried through the air in grand style . When they were flying the tortoise forgot the crow's earlier warning and began to shout " Look! look! what a beautiful lake !" Unfortunately, those were the last words it ever uttered.
