The wisdom pot

Once upon a time, there lived an animal called Tortoise. Tortoise was very wise. He knew a lot but he didn't know everything. He wanted all the wisdom in the world. He said, " I will take all the wisdom and put it in a big pot. I'll hide the pot at the top of a tree. It will all be mine. " Tortoise didn't know how to climb, so he asked monkey, monkey told him, and tortoise put the wisdom in his pot. Tortoise didn't know how to make honey, so he asked Bee. Bee told him, and tortoise put the wisdom in his pot. Tortoise didn't know how to fly, so he asked bird. Bird told him, and tortoise put the wisdom in his pot.
    Finally, the pot was full, Tortoise tied it around his neck with a rope.
    He began to climb the tree, but he fell out of the tree again and again. Snail was watching, he said " Tortoise you're very wise but I don't understand how you can climb a tree with a heavy pot around your neck. Why don't you tie the pot to your back? "
     Tortoise tied the pot to his back, snail was right. He could climb the tree and he didn't fall out, then he was sad and angry.  He didn't have all the wisdom in the world, snail still had some wisdom.
     Tortoise threw the pot down from the tree. It flew around the world for YOU AND I.
