About this document
The Flying Tortoise-Student by Kaitlyn Stoltenberg is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The Flying Tortoise is a Nigerian folktale about a clever tortoise who, during a drought, deceives birds to gain access to a feast in the clouds. After eating all the food and losing the borrowed feathers, he attempts to return home but lands on hard objects, breaking his shell. This experience teaches Tortoise a lesson about selfishness, resulting in his descendants having lumpy shells as a reminder of his actions.
