The Peacock and the Tortoise
ONCE
upon a time a peacock and a tortoise became great friends. The peacock
lived on a tree by the banks of the stream in which the tortoise had
his home. Everyday, after he had a drink of water, the peacock will
dance near the stream to the amusement of his tortoise friend
One
unfortunate day, a bird-catcher caught the peacock and was about to
take him away to the market. The unhappy bird begged his captor to
allow him to bid his friend, the tortoise good-bye
The bird-catcher
allowed him his request and took him to the tortoise. The tortoise was
greatly disturbed to see his friend a captive
The tortoise asked the
bird-catcher to let the peacock go in return for an expensive present.
The bird-catcher agreed. The tortoise then, dived into the water and in
a few seconds came up with a handsome pearl, to the great astonishment
of the bird-catcher. As this was beyond his exceptions, he let the
peacock go immediately
A short time after, the greedy man came back
and told the tortoise that he had not paid enough for the release of
his friend, and threatened to catch the peacock again unless an exact
match of the pearl is given to him. The tortoise, who had already
advised his friend, the peacock, to leave the place to a distant jungle
upon being set free, was greatly enraged at the greed of this man
“Well,”
said the tortoise, “if you insist on having another pearl like it, give
it to me and I will fish you out an exact match for it.” Due to his
greed, the bird-catcher gave the pearl to the tortoise, who swam away
with it saying, “I am no fool to take one and give two!” The tortoise
then disappeared into the water, leaving the bird-catcher without a
single pearl
