A tortoise was resting under a tree, on which a bird had built its nest.

The tortoise spoke to the bird mockingly,
“What a shabby home you have! It is made of broken twigs, it has no roof, and looks crude. What’s worse is that you had to build it yourself. I think my house, which is my shell, is much better than your pathetic nest”.

The bird startled. First landed then answered to the tortoise,
“Yes, it is made of broken sticks, looks shabby and is open to the elements of nature. It is crude, but I built it, and I like it.”
“I guess it’s just like any other nest, but not better than mine”
The tortoise smiled mockingly,
