The Legend of the Turtle and the Lion
Once upon a time, in a land far, faThe Legend of the Turtle and the Lion
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a turtle.
The turtle was young and adventurous, and not very wise. It also didn't like to be alone like so many others, so it settled in Turtle City amongst thousands of others of its kind.
One day, during one of its wanderings to the edge of a nearby jungle, the turtle met a lion. And wonderously, despite their differences, the turtle and the lion became instant friends. They talked about everything in their hearts, laughed together, cried together, played together.
The turtle was delighted to have found a friend like the lion, and suggested the lion come stay with it in Turtle City for a while. The lion agreed, and so they returned to the city together.
After a little while, the turtle started to notice how different the lion was from the other turtles. It suddendly saw that the lion had big sharp claws and great pointy teeth, and fear crept into the turtle's heart that the lion would one day use them to hurt the turtle. So the turtle told the lion to go away, and withdrew its head and flippers into its shell.
The lion was stunned and couldn't believe the turtle would be afraid of it, for the lion's heart was pure and only filled with love and friendship for the turtle. The lion begged and pleaded with the turtle to come back out, and gently tapped on its shell, but that made the turtle only more fearful. It told the lion that it had been wrong in trusting a creature with such mighty claws and teeth. But the lion couldn't hear the turtle, for it had withdrawn so deep into its shell, the turtle's voice was only a faint mumble.
The lion sat next to the turtle and cried bitterly for their lost friendship, and its tears soaked the earth. After a while, the lion couldn't bear anymore to sit and wait for the turtle to reappear, so it left Turtle City and went back to the jungle, its great head hanging to the ground, tail dragging, and with deep sadness and disappointment in its heart.
Long after the lion had left, the turtle finally summoned the courage to stick its head back out of the shell. And as it did, it discovered with wonder that from the tears of the lion, a thick carpet of the most beautiful flowers in all colors of the rainbow had sprung up all around. The turtle then realized that the intentions of the lion had been pure and it had never meant it no harm, for no such beauty could have ever come from a deceitful heart.
The turtle felt foolish and deeply sad, and returned to the place where it had met the lion, calling out for it in the hopes of getting a chance to apologize. But it was too late, for the lion had wandered deep into the jungle where the turtle couldn't follow. And so the turtle returned to Turtle City, where for the rest of its days, it sat amidst the flowers and mourned the loss of the lionr away, there lived a turtle.
