A turtle and two swans were best friends. They met at a lake every day. One year, it rained very less and the swans were worried. The swans spoke about another lake on the other side of the mountain. They decided to go there and invited the turtle to join them. He told them that he could not fly, but had an idea. He asked them to hold a stick in their beaks and he would hold the stick in the middle. The swans agreed but warned him not to open his mouth as they flew. As they flew, they crossed a city. The people were excited by the sight. The turtle wanted to say something and opened his mouth. He fell and was badly hurt.
Moral: Always pay heed to the advice of the wise.
