The Wise Tortoise.

Once upon a time, in a lush green forest, there lived a wise old tortoise. The tortoise was known throughout the forest for his intelligence and his ability to solve problems.
One day, a group of animals came to the tortoise with a problem. They were constantly being hunted by a pack of wolves and didn’t know what to do. The tortoise listened carefully and then suggested that they all work together to build a fortress to keep the wolves out.
The animals were skeptical at first, but the tortoise convinced them that if they all worked together, they could accomplish anything. So, they all set to work building the fortress. The tortoise oversaw the project, making sure that everyone was doing their part and that the fortress was built to withstand any attack.
Finally, the fortress was complete, and the animals all moved in. The wolves soon came, but they were unable to break through the fortress walls. The animals were safe, and they were grateful to the wise tortoise for his help.
From that day on, the tortoise became the leader of the forest, and all the animals looked up to him for guidance. He continued to help them solve their problems and live in peace.
The moral of the story is that working together and using our intelligence can help us overcome even the most difficult challenges.
