Once upon a time, there was a village and there was a large and beautiful pond with a lot of birds, animals, and fishes.
But after some time it stopped raining and the lake started to dry up. Everyone started wondering what should they do as there was no water to drink.
One day every animal decided it is time to leave and find a better habitat.
There was one turtle named Billy and, as you know, turtles are very slow. The turtle wanted to go with the others but he couldn’t. He had a best friend named Jill who was a waterbird that could fly. He said to his friend “I can hold on to a stick with my mouth and you can hold the stick with your beak.”
“Okay.” his friend said, “but you might be a little too heavy for me to lift you by myself so hang on a second and let me get another helping hand.”
Then she went and got one of her other friends named Jack.
Before flying, Jack and Jill told Billy that “You should not talk when we are flying, otherwise you will fall and I am sure about that.”
Billy promised that he will not open his mouth until they were safely on the ground.
Billy was very excited to be flying for the first time and he almost yelled, “Wheeee,” but he stopped himself so that he wouldn’t fall.
But after some time Billy heard someone on the ground make fun of him and he got super mad when he opened his mouth to say something.
He fell, Jill tried her best to help but could not catch the poor falling turtle, luckily Billy fell on his shell and that saved his life.
Moral: Only talk when it is really needed.
