Once, there was a tortoise living in a pond in the Himalayan Mountains. Two young wild ducks decided to take the tortoise to the place where they live, a delightful place at the Golden Cave on Mount Beautiful in the Himalayan country. The ducks made the tortoise bite hold of a stick and they flew it to their destination.Some villagers called out, "Two wild ducks are carrying a tortoise along on a stick!"Whereupon the tortoise said, "If my friends choose to carry me, what is that to you, you wretched slaves?"
You can guess what happen to the tortoise. The story was told to a talkative king, who often left no opportunity for others to speak.
