The Peacock and the Tortoise

ONCE upon a time a peacock and

a tortoise became great friends.

The peacock lived on a tree by

the banks of the stream in which

the tortoise had his home.

Everyday, after he had a drink of

water, the peacock will dance

near the stream to the

amusement of his tortoise friend.

One unfortunate day, a bird-

catcher caught the peacock and

was about to take him away to

the market. The unhappy bird

begged his captor to allow him

to bid his friend, the tortoise

good-bye.
