#34  The Tortoise and the Elephant

--:--
You have no doubt heard of the Hare and the Tortoise? Well this is an African fable from Zaire which shows that tortoises are good at winning all over the world. This story is about a trial of strength. Who do you think is stronger, an elephant or a tortoise?
As with many of our fables, it is told in the voice of a character. Can you guess what sort of African bird is telling the story?
Read by Natasha. Fable adapted for Storynory by Bertie.
