00:00A long time ago near a deep lake lived a tortoise and his two friends the swans.
00:10They spent a lot of time together and had a deep friendship.
00:18One year a terrible drought struck, day after day there was no rain and the lake started drying up.
00:29The swans became worried and said, Dear friend, if we stay here, we will all die.
00:38We must find another place to live.
00:41The tortoise anxiously said, But I cannot fly. How will I go with you?
00:48The swans thought for a while and came up with a plan.
00:52They said, We will bring a strong stick.
00:56You must bite the middle of the stick tightly with your mouth and we will hold the two ends and fly.
01:03But remember, no matter what happens, do not open your mouth.
01:08If you do, you will fall.
01:11The tortoise agreed. The swans brought a strong stick.
01:17The tortoise bit the middle and the swans held the ends and started flying.
01:23As they soared through the sky, the tortoise looked around in amazement at the beautiful scenery.
01:30Soon they were flying over a village and some people on the ground looked up in surprise and said,
01:38Look! A tortoise is flying. How is this possible?
01:42Hearing this, the tortoise wanted to respond but he forgot that if he opened his mouth he would fall.
01:49So he said, I. But as soon as he spoke, he lost his grip on the stick and started falling.
02:01He crashed to the ground and died.
02:06The swans, heartbroken, said, If only our friend had a little patience, he would have survived.
02:14Moral of the story, speaking unnecessarily or without thinking can lead to disaster.
02:21Patience and self-control are essential.
02:25In some hope, yeah, nothing.
