Once there lived a turtle family. They all decided to go for a
picnic. As the turtles were very slow in walking and doing things, it took
nearly one year to prepare everything for an outing.
Finally, they started traveling and after two years of traveling,
they found one ideal place for an outing. It took another 6 months to clean the
place and unpack the luggage. Then they discovered that they forgot to bring
salt. An outing without salt would be a disaster. So they decided to send the young
turtle for bringing salt from the home.
The young turtle was reluctant to go, but all forced the young one
to go. At last, he agreed to go on one condition: Until he returns back with
salt, no one should eat anything. The family accepted the condition and the
young turtle left.
As the young turtle is the fastest among all, it will take 2 years
instead of 3 years. But 4 years, 5 years, 6 years passed away, but there is no
evidence of young turtle’s return. Then on the seventh year, the older turtle
could no longer wait and announced that he is going to eat and began to unwrap
a sandwich.
At the same time, the young turtle suddenly jumped out from the
bushes and shouted, “See, I knew pretty well that you wouldn’t wait. So now I
am not going to get the salt anymore”.
