The Turtle and the Storks
Once upon a time, there was a turtle who was friends with two storks. One day, the pond where they all lived dried up completely. The storks decided to fly to another pond, but of course, the turtle couldn’t fly. Then the turtle herself came up with a clever idea: "You two each take one end of a stick in your beaks, and I’ll bite down in the middle. That way you can carry me through the air!" The storks thought it was a great plan, and together they flew over fields and forests. Below them, people looked up and called out: "How clever! Who came up with such a smart idea?"The turtle wanted to proudly answer: "I did, of course!" But as soon as she opened her mouth, she let go of the stick… and fell down.
Food for thought
Not everything needs to be said. True wisdom often shows in staying quiet and humble.
