The Cunning Tortoise
Once upon a time in a far away land ruled by animals and referred to as Animal Kingdom, there was scarcity of water. All the animals came together to decide on what to do. Mr Lion was their king and he was well respected by all animals. The animals decided to dig a very deep well so that they could get water from the earth. The king decided that it would not be the work of only the servants and slaves but of the whole Animal Kingdom. It was agreed by all that the digging of the well would be in the evenings after the day’s farm work. Mr Parrot, the town crier, was appointed to announce to the whole Animal Kingdom the day the work would commence.
