In this story, the tortoise, who was known for being cunning and clever, wanted to become the king of all the animals. He went to the birds and asked them to help him become the king. The birds, who were known for their wisdom and intelligence, agreed to help the tortoise.
The tortoise and the birds came up with a plan to hold a contest to determine who would become the king. The contest was to see who could fly the highest and reach the sun. The birds all flew up into the sky, but the tortoise stayed on the ground.
When the birds were all high up in the sky, the tortoise began to climb up a tree. He climbed and climbed until he reached the top of the tree, where the birds were all gathered. The tortoise then told the birds that he had won the contest, because he had climbed higher than any of them.
The birds were shocked and amazed by the tortoise’s cunning and cleverness, and they agreed that he should be the king of all the animals. And so, the tortoise became the king, and he ruled over all the animals with wisdom and fairness.
