birds were invited to a feast
in the sky. Yes/No sir.
They were very happy. They
began to prepare
themselves. They painted
their bodies beautifully.
Tortoise was so excited to
join the group because he
had not eaten a good meal
for weeks. So he began to
plan how he could go to the
sky and join the feast. But
Tortoise had no wings so he
asked the birds to be
allowed to join them.
“We know you too well,” said
the birds. “You are
ungrateful. If we allow you to
come with us, you will soon
begin your mischief.”
“You do not know me,” said
Tortoise. “I am a changed
man; I have learned that a
man who makes trouble for
others is also making it for
himself.”
Tortoise had a sweet tongue,
and within a short time, all
the birds agreed that he was
a changed man.
The birds gave him a feather
for his wings.
The feast came. Tortoise
was the first to arrive at the
meeting place. Tortoise was
very happy as he flew
among the birds. The birds
chose him to be their
spokesperson.
“There is one thing we must
not forget,” he said. When
people are invited to a great
feast like this, they take new
names for the occasion.
The birds just followed. They
thought of their names.
When they had taken new
names, Tortoise took one.
He wanted to be called
“All of You.”
What do you think
happened when they were
in the sky?
At last the group arrived in
the sky. Their hosts were
very happy to see them.
Tortoise stood up and
thanked them for their
invitation.
His speech was so eloquent
that all the birds were glad
they had brought him along.
Their hosts treated him well
as the king of the birds, as
he looked somewhat
different from the others.
The people in the sky set
before their guests the most
delicious dishes Tortoise had
ever seen or dreamed of.
Tortoise began to sniff aloud.
When everything had been
set before the guests, one of
the people in the sky invited
the birds to eat. But Tortoise
jumped to his feet and
asked, “For whom have you
prepared this feast?”
“For all of you,” replied the
man. Tortoise turned to the
birds and said,” Remember
my name is All of You.”
He began to eat and the
birds were so angry. Tortoise
ate the best part of the food
and drank wine.
The birds gathered around to
eat what was left .They ate
the bones that he had
thrown on the floor. Some of
them were too angry to eat.
They chose to fly home on
an empty stomach. But
before they left, each took
back the feather he had
borrowed. And there, he
stood full of food and wine
but without any wings to fly
home. He asked the birds to
take a message for his wife,
but they all refused. In the
end, Parrot, who had felt
angrier than the others,
suddenly changed his mind
and agreed to take the
message.
Why do you think Parrot
changed his mind?
“Tell my wife”, said Tortoise,
“To bring out all the soft
things in my house and
cover the area around with
them so that I can jump
down from the sky without
great danger.”
Parrot promised to deliver
the message, and then flew
away. But when he reached
Tortoise’s house, he told his
wife to bring out all the hard
things in the house. And so
she brought out her
husband’s hoes, knife,
spears and guns. Tortoise
looked down from the sky
and saw his wife bringing
things out, but it was too far
to see what they were. When
all seemed ready, he let
himself go. He fell until he
began to fear that he would
never stop falling.
And then like the sound of
his gun, he crashed on the
land.
His shell broke into pieces
but there was a great
medicine man in the
neighbourhood.
 The medicine man gathered
all the bits of shell and put
them together. This is why
the tortoise’s shell is not so
smooth today.
