The Taunted Tortoise And The Sheep

- Oliver O. Mbamara


   All animals knew that the sheep was a weak animal that could hardly protect himself from other animals, but the sheep was quite sure that he could run faster than the tortoise, and that he even stood taller than the tortoise. So, while other animals teased and made fun of the sheep, he consoled himself by taunting the tortoise in turn. The tortoise and sheep were neighbors, and they lived like this for generations 

One year, there was a great famine in the land of the animals. The leaves fell, plants withered, and new ones never sprouted. The crops did not have the proper water or soil to grow. To make matters worse, the neighboring human beings cleaned the farm of any available crops or leaves, and because the famine affected human beings too, the humans no longer left waste food for the animals. It was so bad that even the patient dog waited in vain for the bones that usually fell from the table of his human friend. It got to a point that the animals resorted to eating each other in order to survive.
