The story of pooling efforts to protect the danger (part 1)

Once upon a time, in the forest,  there was a little pond surrounding with the groves and the hollows in the tree trunk. Within a hollow, there was a nest of barn owl bird. The pond was the habitat of a turtle, and in the groves around, there was a doe dwelling. The three animals were best friends.They always took care of each other.

The bird greeted everyone that " Good morning, Turtle, Doe"
Turtle said that " Good morning, Bird. Your voice wake me up every morning"
Doe said " Right. If I didn't hear your voice, it would be a quiet morning."
Bird concluded that " Well, I'm here to wake everyone."

Once there was a hunter passing by and seeing the doe's footprint, so he set the trap according to what he had learnt.
The hunter said to himself  " Hungry, hungry. I haven't eaten anything since morning. Today  I must catch at least 5 animals and I'll eat them all."

In the late night, it was the time that  the doe must walk by the place that the hunter had set the trap. Finally, the trap worked, the doe's ankle was fastened tightly by the snare.
Doe cried loudly " Help me! I'm on the hunter's trap, help me!"

The doe cried for help just once.
The bird and the turtle hastily came to him and helped him eagerly.
The turtle said " Doe don't worry. I'm a turtle. I have sharp teeth. I keep gnawing soon the rope will be torn."
The bird said " Right. Don't worry , Doe. I'll stall the hunter for time."
Doe said that " Thank you both of you."

While the barn owl bird was flying to the hunter's house, the turtle gnawed the rope diligently.
The turtle said " Ouch! What kind of rope is it? It's tough. Luckily, my teeth are sharp or it wouldn't be torn."
When the time passed , Turtle said " Well, my mouth is fatigued."
Doe said with concern that " Hang on, Turtle. I know that you gnaw the rope until your mouth is hurt"
The turtle said " That's ok. I'm fine."


The hunter's house in the wood wasn't far from the place that the doe was trapped. Every time he set the trap, he always got up and check the animals where he had set the trap. But tonight , if he opened the door,
he would be attacked by the barn owl bird at once.

The bird said " Man counts me as a bad omen. Tonight you'll be truly unlucky, Hunter. Prepare yourself. I won't let you check your trap easily."

When a jungle fowl cooed for the first time, the hunter got up and opened the door to come out.

Bird said again that " Aha! you come out, the cruel hunter. You must see the bird of bad luck. Prepare yourself. "

Bird said to  Hunter that " Hunter, try my peaking. Here's for you."
Hunter cried that " Ouch, it's hurt! What's this? The barn owl bird . Bad luck in the morning."

Many of the hunters believed that if the barn owl bird got in the way, they must change the route because it counted as one of the jinx.  

So the hunter changed the way by going out at the back door.
The hunter speaked with upset that " Well, I come out at the back. That evil bird waits for me again. Hm....I should wait until it leaves. Why is it so confused this morning? I'm such an unlucky man."

The bird poked that " See, come out! Do you fear me?"

The barn owl bird waited until she was sure that the hunter wouldn't come out before the sun rose. After that, she flew back to send a message to her friends, the doe and the turtle.

He sits in his hut like this, he must decide not to go out.   

The bird thought that " That's good. I'd better go and tell the turtle and the doe. I don't know if he has already torn the rope up."


At that time, it was almost dawn but the rope still wasn't torn up, eventhough the turtle's every tooth was loose and his mouth was covered with blood.
The turtle said to the doe that " Be patient, fella. Just hurry up. The hunter with his spear is coming this way."
The doe asked that " Is he coming?"

The turtle suppressed his pain and used his remaining teeth to gnaw the rope  until it was almost torn up, so the doe could pull the rope sharply and tore it up."

The doe said " Thank you, Bird , Turtle. I'm free. The rope is torn up. Let's go before the hunter gets here."
The turtle exhaustedly said that " You and the bird can go first. I'm too exhausted."
The bird said " Well then, we should go first, Doe. We'll come back to help him later."
