the tortoise Quotes

“But when he approached the tortoise, he saw that it was already badly hurt and that his head was almost separated from its neck. In spite of how hungry he was, the man felt sorry for the poor tortoise, so he dragged it with a rope to the place where he had built his palm-leaf shelter.”

“The tortoise then went down to the pond where she found a small turtle shell. After cleaning it with sand and ash, the tortoise filled the shell with water and gave it to the man_who was lying on his blanket dying of thirst.”
