The Talkative Tortoise

A tortoise and two storks
were good friends. They
lived on the banks of a river in jungle. The storks travelled a lot and visited many countries.
They often told stories about different places to the tortoise. The tortoise felt sad that he could
not travel along with them. One day the tortoise had an idea. He told the storks, “I cannot travel
because I do not have wings. But this problem can be solved. Both of you hold each end of a
long stick with your beaks. I will hold the middle part of the stick with my mouth. You both fly
and I will automatically come along.” One stork thought it to be a good idea. However the other
stork said, “Not bad idea. But you are very talkative. Can you be quiet? If you talk you will fall
down and die.”The tortoise promised to be quiet. The storks and the tortoise started their journey
the next day. As they flew over a village, men and women stopped and stared. The children
clapped hands and ran after them. One boy started teasing. The tortoise couldn’t resist and
opened his mouth to reply. As soon as he opened his mouth he lost his grip on the stick.
He fell down and died.

Woman To Man
By: Judith Wright

The eyeless labourer in the night,

the selfless, shapeless seed I hold,
builds for its resurrection day---
silent and swift and deep from sight
foresees the unimagined light.

This is no child with a child's face;

this has no name to name it by;
yet you and I have known it well.
This is our hunter and our chase,
the third who lay in our embrace.

This is the strength that your arm knows,

the arc of flesh that is my breast,
the precise crystals of our eyes.
This is the blood's wild tree that grows
the intricate and folded rose.

This is the maker and the made;

this is the question and reply;
the blind head butting at the dark,
the blaze of light along the blade.
Oh hold me, for I am afraid.
