"The Tortoise and the Geese and Other Fables of Bidpai" features a collection of moral stories attributed to the ancient Indian philosopher Bidpai. One of the fables tells the story of a tortoise who longs to leave his pond and travel to new places. He enlists the help of two geese who agree to carry him between them, holding onto a stick with his mouth. However, as they fly over a village, the tortoise cannot resist the urge to speak, which leads to his downfall. This tale imparts valuable lessons about the dangers of pride and the importance of knowing when to stay silent. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
