A Folktale from Africa

All the animals are hungry and thirsty in the African savanna, and there’s a magical tree with giant fruits that will drop them if its name is spoken. A chief who dwells over the mountain knows the name, and so many animals go, hear the name, but forget it on the way back. Only a little tortoise, small and slow, has the patience and compassion to remember the name and save the animals.
