Answer
Disclaimer:
This is a creative activity where students have to look at the picture and
write an imaginative story about the talkative tortoise. One sample answer has
been provided to you for your reference. Students are advised to write the
answer based on their own creative and imaginative skill.
Once upon a time, there
lived two white ducks and a talkative tortoise. They were best friends. They
were playing with each other near the pond. One day, they found there was not a
single drop for them to drink. They decided to go to the nearby lake to live
there permanently. But there was one problem, the tortoise did not know how to
fly while the ducks did.
The
tortoise came up with an idea. He said that he will hold the stick from the
middle with his teeth while the two ducks hold the stick from both the ends. In
this way, they all can fly together and reach the lake. But the tortoise was
very talkative. He opened his mouth to speak in the middle of the flight. As a
result, he fell on the ground and died and the two ducks reached the lake
safely.
