The fox and the turtle

The fox has recently been very distressed, he thinks he is very clever and smart, but other animals always think he is cunning and cunning. In order to change this impression, the fox tried hard to do good deeds to help others, but still others would say "look, the fox is pretending to be a good person, and must be playing any ghost ideas".

This day, the fox was depressed walking along the river, the weather today is very good, but also can not let the fox enjoy the warm sunshine. As he was walking, a noise came from not far away. The fox went over to take a look and it turned out to be a group of people bullying the tortoise. The tortoise was hunkered down in its shell and didn't move, being kicked around like a ball by those people, and occasionally letting out a giggle.

The fox would like to help the turtle, but only one person, the other side of the crowd is certainly not an opponent, so we must think of a way to do.

The fox was inspired to hide in the grass and shouted to the crowd, "Brother Tiger, there seems to be someone playing a game over there, why don't we go over and take a look!"

When the group heard that the tiger had come, they threw down the tortoise and fled in all directions. When they ran out of sight, the fox came out of the grass, came to the turtle and said, "Now you're safe."

The turtle slowly stuck his head out, looked around, and asked, "Where is the tiger?"

The fox laughed and said, "I deliberately shouted so loudly to scare those people, but I didn't expect even you to be tricked."

Only then did the tortoise understand: "So that's how it is, not bad for a smart fox."

Hearing the turtle say so, the fox sighed and said, "But people don't think so."

So the fox told the tortoise what had happened to him.

After listening, the tortoise asked, "Why do you think you think I was bullied by that group just now?"

The fox didn't understand why the tortoise asked that question, but answered, "Because you were running slow."

The tortoise nodded and said, "That's right, I run very slowly, and even if some other tortoise had won the hare in the long-distance race, it wouldn't change the fact that tortoises run slowly."

The fox thought the tortoise was trying to say that no matter what good he did, it would never change the fact that "foxes are cunning" and looked very sad.

The tortoise then said, "Although there are many things can not change, but through that race, more people found the merits of our tortoise, that is, we can persist in a thing not to give up, and no longer because we run slow and look down on us."

The fox seemed to understand something.

The tortoise encouraged, "Fox, what you are doing now is the right thing, so be sure to persevere and don't give up even if you are not understood by others. I believe that as long as there is that one chance to appear, people will definitely change their opinion of you."

The fox said happily, "Thank you, I know what to do."

After some time, a group of people came to the forest, and when they set up a camp here, they began to destroy the forest indiscriminately, and many animals had already lost their homes because of them. The village sent representatives to negotiate, but were injured by the other side, even if you want to send people to the city for help, but also by the group of people with violence to stop.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the fox found the tortoise and told him his plan. The tortoise listened to it and said he was willing to help.

So the fox called on everyone to collect stones together, not too big, as long as they can be held in one hand.

Someone raised the question: "Is this to drive those people away with stones? But they have more and better weapons than we do."

The fox calmly said: "You do as I say, I free wonderful plan."

That night, everyone with a good collection of stones, at the entrance of the village ready, the fox gave a command, everyone to make the greatest strength, throwing stones to the camp. Those people were startled by the attack at first, but even if the bear with the greatest strength threw stones, it was impossible to throw too far, and those people retreated to a distance beyond which the stones could fly, and it was safe.

The fox saw the right moment to let the turtle shrink into the shell.

The tortoise said with some unease, "Is it really okay to give me such an important task? I'm a slow runner."

The fox smiled and said, "Well, I know, but I believe you can insist on completing the task without giving up."

After saying that, the fox used all his strength and threw the turtle out. The group took the turtle as a stone and did not care, so the turtle evaded the group's surveillance and crawled toward the city. Although the speed is very slow, but the turtle does not eat and sleep to move forward, tired of a little rest, and then continue to crawl, finally the forest situation notified to the city, the city quickly to the forest excluded the rescue.

The fox and the tortoise became the great heroes who saved the village. At the recognition party, the fox said happily, "All this is thanks to the tortoise, who made me understand that my cleverness should not be used to deceive others, but to help them!"
