Reading Notes Part A

How the Turtle Saved His Own Life

  • A king built a lake in his backyard for his songs to swim and play in
  • the boys swam and sailed their boats in it
  • the king then asked some of his workers to put some fishes into the lake
  • the sons ran to the lake to see these new additions and they noticed something they had never seen before, a turtle 
  • they saw it and thought it was a demon so they got scared
  • they ran back to the their father and the king ordered for the turtle to be killed 
  • when the workers caught the turtle and brought it back to the house, the boys ran away from it and cried 
  • the king, very empathetic of his sons, demanded that the turtle be killed 
  • the workers thought of many ways to kill it 
  • pound it to power, back it in hot coals, or throw it into the lake 
  • the workers agreed to throw the turtle into the lake where it will be smashed to pieces by the rocks
  • the turtle hearing all this talk, thrusted his head out of the shell 
  • he demanded to know why they would do such a thing when the turtle had not done anything 
  • when the king heard this, he ordered for the men to take the turtle to the lake at once
  • the turtle laughed to himself as he knew he was very safe in the water
