I don’t want to fail because of a stupid turtle like you”, the Buffalo was angry with the Turtle, but the Turtle didn’t care with the Buffalo and he kept walking. “Don’t you hear me ? I will kill you if you don’t walk faster. Don’t make me angry stupid turtle”, the Buffalo shouted. “I am the strongest animal in the jungle, everything cannot defeat me”, the Buffalo said.
Suddenly, the big flood came and crashed the small bridge because it was rainy season. The Buffalo was shocked and afraid, but the Turtle was quiet. The Buffalo said, “What should I do? This bridge will be broken because of the flood.” The Turtle asked, “You can swim, don’t you? You are a strong animal, everything cannot defeat you. It is just water.” The Buffalo was panic because he knew he couldn’t swim.
