Once upon a time, there was a tortoise(乌龟) on a ship. Unluckily, the ship went down one day. Some time later the tortoise successfully swam to a land. There was nothing to eat on the land. All the sides of the land were water except for the east. The east side led up to a big mountain. To survive, the tortoise decided t
o climb to the top of the mountain. He hoped that he would be able to cross to the other side.
When he got to the top of the mountain, he found the top was covered with snow. He felt cold, and then a big wind started. Finally, he found a small path leading down the other side of the mountain. But the path was stopped by a big monster(魔鬼). It kept shouting.
“Uuh uuh uuh !”
This made the tortoise feel feared. But, looking around him, he saw that many other animals were lying in the snow, with looks of fear on their faces. So the tortoise made up his mind to keep moving down t
he path towards the monster. The closer the tortoise got, the bigger the monster became. Then, when he was almost upon it, the tortoise realized the monster was only a great rock. The “Uuh uuh uuh” was just the sound of the wind.
The tortoise went on. In the end he came to an area filled with forests and plenty of food. The tortoise lived very happily there.
