Reading Notes 20 Jataka Tales- The Tortoise and the Geese



Geese and tortoise friends
"Come with us, friend tortoise," said one day two wild geese to a kind old tortoise who lived i a pond in the Himalayas.
    -sentence structure is weird.

The tortoise would go but he said he had no wings.

Birds suggested he hold on to a stick that 2 birds will hold in their beaks.

They flew over Benares and the kids started to make fun of him.

Tortoise got angry and shouted at them. This caused him to open his mouth.

The tortoise fell into a castle

"this fate comes to those who can't hold their tongue"

Lesson

The tortoise being carried through the air.
