1 Once there were two cranes and a tortoise who lived by a lake and became good
friends. They played together all day long, sunning themselves on the sand and swimming
in the lake. They were very happy and wanted to be together forever.
2 But that year there was a drought*. For five months, no rain fell at all. The rivers
and the land cracked. Each day, the little lake where the tortoise and cranes
dried up,
lived became smaller and smaller.
3 One day the two cranes flew into the air to see how things were, and came back in the
evening saying, "Tortoise, everyone is moving to the Heavenly Lake. I think we should
move too. If we stay here, we'll die of hunger and thirst."

The tortoise shut his little eyes and cried. "Oh, you can fly or hurry as fast as you 10
get to the Heavenly Lake. But I can neither fly nor walk fast. Within three days
I will be nothing but an empty shell! We have been friends for so long. Please don't leave

5 The tortoise cried so much that the cranes, unable to hold their own tears back, did
not have the heart to leave him behind. So they decided to stay at the lake with the 15
tortoise for a while. Perhaps the rain would come in a few days.

they must go. The tortoise knew that he could not keep them there any longer, so he
pleaded* with them, saying "We have been friends for so long! Can't you think of a way to 20
take me along?"
7 They thought long and hard. After some time the cranes said, "Tortoise, we have a
plan, but it will be difficult."
18 The tortoise asked eagerly, "What is it? What is it?"
"We'll hold two ends of a stick in our beaks*, and you can hold on to the middle with 25
your mouth. Then we can fly, carrying you between us. What do you think of the idea?”
10 The tortoise was so happy that he nearly jumped. "Yes, yes! That's a good idea! Let's
start at once!"
11 The cranes were very happy, too, but they had to give him a warning. "You must be

ry careful not to open your mouth on the way."
"Of course not," the tortoise promised. "There is nothing that can make me open it."
Early the next morning they said good-bye to their home. The cranes held the two
ends of the stick, and the tortoise held the middle in his mouth. They took off into the
sky, then flew and flew, over dark forests, snow-covered mountains, temples, and vast
grasslands.
14 Down on the earth, some farmers pointed to them and said, "Look, what a clever
tortoise! He holds the stick in his mouth and lets the cranes carry him." The cranes went
on as if they had heard nothing, but the tortoise was extremely proud. Everyone was
praising him!

13 They flew on and on. They came across some children who shouted at them, “Look, 40
how clever the cranes are! They carry the tortoise high in the sky."

16 The cranes paid no attention. But the tortoise felt very jealous. “Stupid fools! Saying
that it's me who is being carried! I must let them know which of us is more clever."
17 So he began to shout at them, "Hey...!"
