PLOT

EVENTS:
The King Efriam Duke is a peaceful man with a wonderful drum. Every time the
drum was beaten, plenty of food and drink were found at the tables. So
whenever any country declared war against them, they used to call them and
beat the drum to prevent the war and changed into festivities. The King is so
thoughtful that he even invites all the wild animals and anyone to join the king
and have a big feast.
CONFLICT:
The tortoise made a great feast for three days together with the wild animals.
He became lazy for a few weeks and drink too much. He did not notice a stick
along his path. The tortoise did not know that whoever owns the drum and
walked over the stick or slept over a fallen tree, all the food would immediately
have turned into bad things. Three hundred Egbo men appeared and beat the
owner and also all the invited guests. The feast was ruined.

RESOLUTION:
The Tortoise went to the King and brought the drum with him. He told the king
that he is not satisfied with the drum and wished to exchange it for something
else and after some problems that happened to the family of the tortoise the
tortoise and the family learned to value everything that they have and to
always do good and to be obedient and follow what is good and refrain from
bad thoughts and doings.

THEME

 Everyone should be contented on what they have and be responsible in every

obligation or responsibility they encounter or have because we don’t know
what we will do if a problem occurs because being contented and responsible
makes a person’s life happier and better and it lets you know the limitations
in life that’s why we have to value every blessing we have in life.
