         Some animals were having fun one 

day. they saw Turtle flip-flop over on his 

back.

          Turtle found it enjoyable doing flip-

flops. There was always somebody to 

help him turn over. So, just like previous 

instances, he did it with great fervor. 

Rabbit came and turned him over. Almost 

all his animal friends did this act of 

helpfulness. They were willing to help 

their friend, Turtle.

So, just like previous instances, he did it 

with great fervor. Rabbit came and turned 

him over. Almost all his animal friends did 

this act of helpfulness. They were willing 

to help their friend, Turtle.

       The Bird came. The wise bird thought 

of something better. "He must learn to 

turn himself over. We will not always be 

around when he needs help. Yes, we 

won't help him anymore. I'll tell the 

others."

        So Owl called for a meeting. 

Everybody came. Each one brought food 

for them to share.

          At the meeting, Bird tell them of his 

plan for their friend. Others protested but 

he explained the importance of being 

independent.

         "He can learn better if he will do 

things on his own. There's a lesson to be 

learned when you experience hardships 

with tasks you wish to accomplish" added 

Rabbit.

           That's   true, Rabbit, so let's ignore 

him when he asks for help. I hope he'll 

understand our motive in doing this! 

remarked Armadillo.

          They eat together and the meeting 

is adjourned.

          Turtle went on with his traveling 

over some rocks one day.

                                                   ...

          "I'll just take a rest," he thought. 

"One of my friends will come along to 

help me".

           Nobody came to rescue him. Turtle 

became suspicious.

         The Turtle heard Bird. "You must 

learned to turn yourself over, Turtle" he 

said. "We won't help you anymore, You 

must help yourself."

           "No, please help me, Bird" cried 

Turtle. "Help me, Rabbit!, Help me 

Armadillo!, Help me Tiger!, Help me 

Rabbit!, Help me please!."

         But no animal came to help him.
