Image Source: reddit


  • A village hunter went farther into the forest than he usually did
  • While he was roaming around, he heard a song
  • When the song was finished, he looked to see who it was. 
  • The songstress was a tortoise
  • The hunter asked the tortoise if he could take her home so he could listen to her sing every day
  • The tortoise agreed, only if he promised that she only sang for him
  • The hunter did not stay content with their arrangement
  • The hunter wanted to gain honor 
  • The hunter told the people of the village about the wonderful singing tortoise
  • The people didn't believe the hunter. He offered them to take his life if he was found to be lying about the tortoise
  • He brought the tortoise to the assembly place, but she did not sing
  • The hunter was beheaded
  • After he was killed, the tortoise spoke
  • She said he brought the punishment on himself
