The Clever Tortoise

Once there was a king who had been trying really hard to capture an elephant, but that prize had proved elusive. All the hunters in the kingdom had tried, But their efforts were in vain. so the king announced that anyone who could capture the elephant would get half his Kingdom .

the tortoise heard about this and went to the king to accept the challenge. the king was very amused ‘ all my Hunters have failed to capture the elephant and you think you can succeed ?’ , Asked the king. the tortoise insisted that he was up to the task and promised to deliver that elephant to the king within 48 hours. The tortoise then dog of big hole, big enough to hold the elephant along a path leading to the village. then he covered the whole with sticks and leaves so that it was not visible unless inspected closely. when this was done, the tortoise went in search of the elephant.

when the tortoise make the elephant, he told him, ‘ you know you are the largest animal in the forest and you should be a king ?’ the elephant had never considered this before, but he thought it was not a bad idea. the tortoise told the elephant that the villagers had decided to sell the largest animal their king and we are all expecting the elephant to come to the village and he crowned their king. The more the elephant heard, The more excited he became. the tortoise adorned the elephant with colourful beads and beating a gong , he sang songs praising the elephant while he led the way to the village. Soon they approached the Trap and the tortoise being lighter and smaller walked over the trap. The elephant who was following him fell through the sticks and leaves into the deep hole and thus helped the tortoise in achieving his goal well within the time limit.
