The story of the dog and the greedy tortoise starts in an animal kingdom. In this kingdom, a great famine lasted for quite a long time. The famine lasted till all the food they stored was finished. This worried the animals in the animal kingdom and they had to act quickly or they would all die of hunger.
So, they called a meeting and every animal in the kingdom was present at the meeting. The animals planned to do something about the famine in the land before they all died of famine in the land. So, the animals had their meeting and they concluded that they would sacrifice the mothers in the animal kingdom.
The animals agreed to sacrifice their mothers on the land so that they could make sure that there was a continuation of animals. They all agreed to eat their mothers. This decision made the dogs very upset because they all loved their mothers dearly.
The dog thinks deeply about the decision of the animals in the meeting and he thinks of a plan. The dog made up his mind not to sacrifice his mother. He then hid his mother in the sky so that she would not be sacrificed.
Every day, the dog would go and meet his mother where he kept her. He would go to his mother and ask her to drop a rope while he sang to her. The mother would then drop a rope so that the dog would use this to climb up and go and meet her.
After climbing the rope, his mother would prepare a feast for him and he would eat to his heart’s content. A tortoise once saw the dog calling to his mother and requesting that she drop a rope so that he might climb up to meet her.
As the tortoise walked by, he became aware of what the dog was doing. The tortoise then hid in a secret spot so that he could see what was happening. Then the tortoise observed how a rope fell from the sky after hearing the dog sing a song to his mother.
The dog sang the song to his mother, amazing the tortoise. They dropped a rope, which the mother used to help the dog climb to the sky. Seeing this activity the tortoise came up with an idea. The next day, the turtle switched to where the dog would.
The tortoise then disguised himself as the dog and sang the song that he heard the dog sing to his mother. The mother in the sky thought her son was singing and so she lowered the ropes. The ropes were released, and the tortoise climbed them to reach the sky.
The dog was approaching the spot of the tortoise as it was climbing the ropes. Then the dog saw the tortoise heading towards the sky. The dog started singing to his mother. He sang to his mother that he wasn’t the one who was climbing the ropes.
The dog sang that his mother should cut the ropes that lead to the sky. After that, the dog’s mother took out a pair of scissors and cut the rope. This made the tortoise fall to the ground and crash. The tortoise hit the ground and his shell, with cracks all over it, took the damage. He was able to glue it back together, but this left his shell rough and widely known for its rough texture. This concludes the story of the dog and the greedy tortoise.
