DRAWING OF A GUY WITH PEN DICRIBING DOG AND TORTOISE ACTION IN JUNGLE.

Once upon a time, there was a Famine in the land of the animals because the dry season has extended more than usual.
There was looking rather thin and unhealthy because very limited food was available. However, the tortoise observed that his friend, the dog was looking very fresh, and healthy. He wondered what the secret of the dog's well being was and decided to find out.

The next day, the tortoise decided to pay his friend, the dog a visit. On getting to his house, the tortoise said, My good friend, you know we have been friends for a very long time, please tell me the secret of your rosy cheeks and bulging stomach, despite the famine throughout the land. I need to know so that I do not die of hunger."
The dog replied," There is no secret to it my good friend, it's all my hard work that has paid off,"

The tortoise was not fooled by the dog's reply and he decided to press further. He said," my friend, I know that you have found a way to beat this famine, Please tell me, i will keep your secret." The dog however denied that there was no any secret behind his well being. So, then the maintortoise thanked him and left, but he could not get the issue out of his mind so he came up with a plan.

The next day, he decide to shadow the dog's movements. He hide behind a tree 🌲 and observed the dog leave home very early in the morning with a basket. He tailed him all the way to the neighboring village, making sure he was at some safe distance behind the dog all the time.

The dog made his way to a farm and, after looking around to make sure that no one was watching, and he started harvesting yam off the farm into his basket. The tortoise then announced his presence to the dog. The dog was shocked that his friend would go to that extent to find out his secret, but, there was nothing he could do. He decided to get the tortoise in on his terrible act of stealing from someone else's farm. So off they went on the next day, and the next day and the next day……..

       Each time the went, the tortoise 
      Took a little more than he did the 
       Previous day.
       It then occurred to the dog that 
       The more yams the tortoise
       Added each day, the longer it took.  
       Them to get back home, so he 
       Decided to caution him.
       My good friend tortoise, the 
       quantity of yam you take home 
       each day is becoming too much 
       yesterday, we left for home at
       at 5.45pm. The farmer may catch 
       us and then that will be the end
       of us." The tortoise replied
       nonchalantly, Don't worry my
       friend', I'm storing enough yam
       at home for the rainy day.
       The farmer will not catch us."
        I don't think you should be gre-
        edy,' you could get us in trouble
        if we harvest too much yam than
        we can carry easily enough to 
        escape being caught by the 
        farmer," said the dog worriedly .

So the next day 5.30prompt, the dog announced that he was leaving for home. But the tortoise pleaded for some more time to harvest yam. Shortly after, the dog put his basket on his head 🗣️ and started heading home 🏠. The tortoise noticed this and shouted after the dog.
Dog wait for me, i can't carry my basket alone, it's too heavy. Please help me,"

The dog however refused to listen and made haste to avoid the farmer. The tortoise pleaded for hours, but the dog by then had long gone. The farmer arrived on his farm and found the tortoise with a basketful of his yam. He handed him over the king's men and the tortoise was brought to justice. When the dog saw what had happened to his friend tortoise, he was afraid, he then realised how unfair his actions towards the farmer had been.

From then on, he decided that he would never take whatever that do not belong to him so that he would not get himself into trouble like the tortoise.
