    PROMISE
    A Japanese folk tale

    Long ago, Akira


    saw some
    children illtreating a turtle.

    Thank you. I would


    like to invite you
    to my home.

    He picked up the
    turtle and turned
    it around.

    What a beautiful
    palace!

    The turtle took


    him to the palace
    of the turtles
    under the sea.

    The king of the


    turtles gave Akira
    a grand feast

    Akira was very happy. He enjoyed the


    delicious food. After the dinner
    Thank you. Ive to go
    back now.

    Im giving you two boxes but


    you can only open one.

    After saying,
    goodbye to all
    the turtles, Akira
    went home.
    I promise. I will open only one.

    Wow. The
    other one
    must also be
    full of money.

    The moment he
    reached home,
    Akira opened one
    of the boxes
    impatiently.

    He was very
    curious, so, he..

    Suddenly, his hair


    turned white and
    his skin wrinkled.
    He had turned
    into an old man!

    Oh dear! I should not have


    broken my promise.
