Why tortoises live in water?

                                            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.

Cobweb is stronger than a steel wire !

                                              Cobweb is stronger than a steel wire !

We all have seen a cobweb. Spiders are spinning it. Though they are spinning it, they will not get trapped inside the web. Cobwebs are made of special proteins secreted by spiders. Cobwebs are beautiful to look. If we take one strand of cobweb and if we compare it with a strand of steel wire, surprisingly the strand of cobweb is more stronger than the steel wire !
Because of its chemical composition, it is more stronger than a mere steel wire. The main purpose of using the cobwebs by spiders are to catch its pray. If a pray comes inside a cobweb, it is very difficult to escape.

Saint asked King , before to him who was staying in the palace? King proudly said it was his father. But now he is no more. Saint again asked before to his father, who was staying there? King replied his grandpa lived there. But now he is also not there.
Saint smilingly replied " Everyone is staying here only for a while. As soon as their work is over, they are vacating place. It is same as a hotel. In hotel also, no one stays for long time. So , your palace and the hotel are similar in that sense."
