Once upon a time, there was a tortoise and two geese who lived by a lake in a beautiful valley. They had been friends for many years. One day, the lake started to dry up because there was no rain. The animals knew they needed to find a new home.
The geese decided to fly and look for a new lake. After flying a long way, they found a perfect lake to live in. They went back to the old lake and told the tortoise. The tortoise was happy but worried because he couldn’t travel that far.
The geese had a plan to help the tortoise. They told him not to open his mouth during the trip, or he would fall. They brought a stick and asked the tortoise to hold it tightly with his mouth. The geese held the ends of the stick and flew off with the tortoise. They traveled safely for many miles.
During the trip, the tortoise saw some people and children on the ground. The children started to shout at the tortoise. He felt upset and wanted to explain. When he opened his mouth to speak, he let go of the stick and fell to the ground, dying before he could say anything.
The two geese were very sad about their friend’s death but couldn’t do anything. They continued on to their new home.
