The
Tortoise, Her Problem, And The Turtle
-
Oliver O. Mbamara
When Mother-Tortoise finished her story, she released her children to go about their business of the day. She had done what a mother could do. She had explained to her growing children how nature bestowed each tortoise with a body that has a heavy shell to be carried around. “I thought that you should know this, so you could deal with it when others tease you, and revile you, and insult your nature,” Mother-Tortoise concluded. She had taught her children how to accept themselves for who they are, how to face life’s challenges, and how to overcome them rather than languish in self-pity and low self-worth.
