The Talkative Tortoise

Once there was a tortoise lived in a pond. Two Swans used to visit the
same pond everyday. The tortoise was very talkative. It used to talk to
swans for a very long time. Tortoise and Swans become good friends.
All of them were happy. Once there was a drought and it lasted for
long time.

As a result, the water in the pond got dry. There was no water for them
to drink. The swans decided to move out to some other place. The
tortoise asked swans to take him alone with them. The swans suggested
a plan, according to which tortoise would have to hold a piece of stick
by its mouth and the swans will hold its two ends of that stick.

They told the tortoise not to speak otherwise it would fall and die. The
tortoise understood and promised them not to open its mouth during
that journey. while crossing a village, many saw the tortoise and got
surprised.

They shouted at the tortoise and made fun of him. Tortoise got angry
and opened its mouth to speak. But as it opened its mouth, it fell down
on the ground. The swans were very shocked to see their friend's end.
The tortoise died because of its impatience and foolishness.
