Stupid tortoise and the swasn

Kambugriv, the tortoise lived in a pond. He had two swan friends named Sankat-Vikat. They were his well-wishers. The pond slowly started to dry up as there was no rain for a long time. One day all three were talking among themselves about the same subject. The turtle said, "Friends! In the absence of water, we will not survive. We have to think of some way to save our lives."

The swans said, “At a short distance from here there is another big pond, which is full of water. We should all go there."

To this the tortoise said, "Both of you bring wood from somewhere. You both take that wood with your claws and fly and I'll grab it with my teeth and hang."

Swans said, "We shall do the same thing, but don't open your mouth under any circumstances while flying in the air. If you open your mouth, you will fall down and die."

Thus both the swans flew away by hanging the turtle in a wood. On the way a village came. Seeing the two swans flying like this, the villagers were surprised and said, "Aha! Look, these birds flying with something like a wheel. Hearing these words, the tortoise could not stop and he said, "The wheel-like object is me, I am Kambugreeva."

As soon as the turtle opened its mouth in this way, it fell down and died due to falling from such a height.

That is why it is said that the words of well-wishers should be obeyed.
