70. The Turtle and the Swans - By ESL Garden

Years ago a turtle lived in a beautiful blue lake. Two white swans came to the lake every day to eat and soon became good friends with the tortoise. One day, the goose invited the turtle to visit their home. The turtle said, "But how can I get there? I can not fly, and I walk very slowly." then the goose helped the turtle to walk. Geese is very happy. They took the stick and asked the turtle to bite the middle. Then they each held one end and flew to the sky. Soon they flew over the royal palace. Everyone in the palace wanted to see the strange sight. The king chef came out and shouted, "What a skinny tortoise I hope it will fall, it will make a great dinner for the king! At this turtle can be silent. He forgets his promise not to open his mouth. He shouted at the cook, "Eat burnt wood on your stove!" But when he said that he fell, came down, to death with a violent crash right in the middle of the palace. The geese fly home alone, losing their friends.
If the turtle's pride gets better from him, he forgets that it is often better to remain silent than to answer in angry words. Because of his anger he lost his life.
