And tortoise will not change his behavior not even because of me. Till this time my tortoise 🐢 has not changed. This time, the tortoise took his friends for a ride and married the big lion's daughter for a wife. Imagine your little tortoise 🐢 getting married to the big lion's daughter, will you stand the height or the voice?
One day Lion won a lottery ticket, he got a lot of money that he decided to build a big house for himself. Lion called on all the animals to come and assist but not without pay. This pay is not like any other pay. Lion said anyone that fills my tank with water will have my daughter's hand in marriage... Hahaha haha, you know marriage is so desired by both men and animals. They were so happy and started discussing how it was going to be. While everyone was talking and ranting tortoise kept quiet and was calculating what he was going to do.
The tortoise then told all the animals that they should go parting first to celebrate the pronouncement. So all the animals left the market square and started dancing. Tortoise even got some drinks they all drank and was drunk. These animals didn't know that tortoise 🐢 made a contract behind them for the water to be fetched.
When the tortoise realized that the water has be fetched successfully, he then said 'that everyone should return to his du/y as the party is over. The animals then took their gallons to the stream to fetch water, lion was so surprised that they still brought water. He then told them that there was no space for the water to be put unless they will come by the following week but with a normal pay which is money.
They all were surprised and asked, who fetched the water he asked them to? He said it was the lion. Whaaaatt!! Tortoise I, you fooled us, why could you have done this thing to us? Tortoise went and sat as he anticipated for his bride. The lion was speechless but could not reverse his early agreement. He felt pity for the daughter and wished for the best for her.
Tortoise slowly took his wife away while all the animals stood speechless, some kept repeating, tortoise you have fooled us again.
This is my entry for the betrayal story as published by @kronias in #hivelearners community.
Tortoise has always been a cunny animal.. lol! He always has a way of manipulating everything 😅
Seriously
Thanks for reading
You're welcome ma!
I think you have to correct this part dear.
Well, tortoise has always been a cunning animal... By now, the animal kingdom should have gotten used to it... Lol. 😆😆
The wise tortoise, i always seem curious, is tortoise as wise and cunning in real life as it is being portrayed in stories
They are intelligent, but not as intelligent as in stories. They can live very long. People like to associate age with wisdom.
i have only seen it once i think and didn't really observe well, and yea i heard they can live upt0 100 years
Well tortoise 🐢 is very sensitive and would not alloww it itself to enter into trouble that's the death of tortoise is not so pleasant
