🐢 The Hungry Tortoise:
One day, the tortoise had no food to eat. He thought and though, then came up with a brilliant idea. So, he went to the stingy goat that had food in abundance.
“Hey goat, can I ask you a simple question?” the tortoise said.
“Of course you can ask” the goat bleated.
The tortoise then said.
“Can you tell me what the fastest animal in the world is?”
The goat responded.
“On land or in water?”
“On land”
“Of course it’s the cheetah” the goat said.
“Perfect! You’re so intelligent. Listen, if you give me food, I shall make you the fastest creature on land”
The goat looked puzzled.
“How is that even possible? Are you God?”
“I’m not God but I have supernatural powers. You wouldn’t believe me if I told you, but I was the one that casted a spell on the vulture and he became ugly”
“Wow!” the goat exclaimed. “So you mean you could make me faster than the cheetah?”
“Definitely” the tortoise croaked.
The goat became excited. He invited the tortoise over for dinner and served him enough food and wine. Having ate and drank his fill, the tortoise was about to leave when the goat stopped him.
“Now it’s your turn. Transform me into the fastest animal in the world. I can’t wait”
But the tortoise roared with laughter. He laughed and laughed, then said.
“You’re such a big fool. I think you need a brain more than the speed which you seek. I am notoriously slow, didn’t you wonder why I haven’t yet turned myself into a fast animal since I’ve got the powers? Ugh! Anyways, thanks for the food”
The goat became very angry. He grabbed the tortoise by the neck and roughly pushed him up against the wall. Then with a metal rod, he hit him severally on the back until his shell cracked all over.
“Serves you right!” the goat wailed. “You could have just asked me for food, instead of playing tricks on me. Moron!”
Moral: People are quite fast at manipulating and using us for their own benefits. We should not be like the credulous goat that believed everything he was told. Pay keen attention to what people are saying or asking you to do, so you don’t end up getting scammed or tricked.
