Once upon a time, the tortoise had hair on his head until ....well, one fateful act of greediness
The king had become so prosperous that he decided to host a feast for the all the animals, so he sent the tortoise out give the announce. They should all be at his palace before sunset
But the tortoise was never one who liked to share meals with others, this feast should be for him alone, he thought. After all it was him who provided all the wealth of wisdom that helped the king to become so successful
The tortoise went out and announced
Tortoise: The king has decided to host a feast for everyone, you all are invited to the palace. Make sure sure you arrive after sunset
The day of the feast came and bowls of hot meals were served but the tortoise was the only one around to devour them. This was exactly what he wanted, so he rejoiced
Bowl by bowl, the tortoise ate and drank but sunset would soon be upon him and the animals would begin to show up. The tortoise had no plan to share.. No, not this meal. They should stick to grass and raw meat, this is too delicious for them
Sunset soon came upon him and he began to hear noises for afar, the animals were approaching while he still had three bowls of hot porridge on the table
What am i going to do, he thought
And then an idea came, the tortoise smiled
Just before the animals entered the feasting hall, the tortoise poured the bowls of porridge into his cap and wore it on his head
As the animals entered, he winked them and walked out. He had succeeded, the tortoise was proud of his accomplishments
Just when he got home, the tortoise fell down and fainted
He woke up to a bald and ugly face. ..he would remain bald and ugly forever
