Why tortoises live in water?
Long ago, even the tortoises are living like humans. Once some cannibals are hunting. But they could not find anything. At that time, they saw a tortoise crawling.
They thought they will have the tortoise itself for their dinner . They came near tortoise. By seeing them and figuring out danger , tortoise hid itself behind its shell. Without knowing how to take it out of its shell, they wrapped the tortoise in that position itself.
The cannibals ordered their wives to cook the tortoise. But ladies didnt know the procedure. That time, tortoise suggested that if they succeed to break its shell, its easy for them to cook. It suggested that in order to break the shell, they can hit with a stick.
Cannibals agreed for that. They started hitting. But it is of no use. Cannibals themselves got tired. By seeing their condition, tortoise again came with another idea. It asked them that if they dip it in a pool of water, it will get diluted and it would be easier to cook.
Cannibals found a pot of water. But it proved to be small for the size of tortoise. Hence they went near a river and started washing the tortoise vigorously. At one point, tortoise got slipped from their hands. It started to swam through water. It vowed that it will not live on ground anymore.
