 The Turtle Who Could n't Stop Talking

    Two geese met a turtle and they all became friends. The geese were going to go far away, invited the turtle, and devised a plan for him to join them. They told him he musn't say a word and to bite onto a stick that the geese would hold. The turtle agreed. Some people taunted the turtle when they saw him. The turtle tried to respond and fell to his death.
