As a story has it: high at the top of a palm tree there lived a crow king. One day, the crow was preparing for his daughter’s wedding.
He ordered some of his soldiers to invite all animals to join the wedding as guests and the others to fetch fruits, rice, fish and meat to serve the glue's.
As the dale of the wedding came, all the invited guests converged. They enjoyed the dinner and produced loud cheers all across the forest.
The tortoise, which was also invited by the crow king tried to come along by crawling slowly. Because of his short legs, the tortoise was the last to arrive.
On arrival the tortoise popped out his had and looked up. He swell the animal guests cheerfully enjoying the banquet. The scene made his mouth and prompted him to find a way of climbing up the palm tree.
A snake just arrived. The tortoise asked: “Where do you go, my brother snake?”. “I attend the wedding of the crow’s children. And you! What for do you come here?”, replied the snake. The tortoise said that he also attend the wedding party.
The snake told the tortoise to use his mouth to cling onto his tale while he was crawling up the tree. The snake warned the tortoise to watch his mouth. The tortoise was very excited. He bit onto the snake’s tale, and the snake began crawling up.
Almost near the top, the crow welcomed the tortoise by asking: Oh! Brother tortoise! You also come along?” Forgoing that his mouth was biting on the snake's tale, the tortoise acknowledged the greeting by saying: •. Yes".
Suddenly, the tortoise;s mouth slipped out of the snake’s tale, sending the reptile down to the ground. The fall caused a crack in his shell until now. No food and a crack in the shell. What a pity for the tortoise!
That is why old people always teasing a person that he has got “a tortoise mouth" when he is invited to a party or any other banquet, and arrives late, to find no more food left for him.
THE END
