One day, a turtle sees a frog, a rabbit and a monkey jumping around on a field.
"What are you guys doing?" asks the turtle.
"We are competing, see who can jump higher," says the rabbit.
Turtle is really envy of them. He goes to see deer, who is the clevest animal in the jungle.
"Deer, can you teach me how to jump?" says the turtle.
The deer takes out a seed and plants it into the soil. "What you need to do is, everyday spend 5 hours jumping across the tree."
"But I can't see the tree," says the turtle.
"It will grow up slowly," says the deer.
The turtle thinks why don't I wait until it grows up first. So he waits until the tree grows up little bit from the seed. But the turtle still thinks it is too easy, so he plans to wait until it grows taller. The turtle waits and waits, the tree grows and grows, until one day the turtle realises that the tree has grown too tall and he can't jump over it.
He begs the deer to give him another chance. The deer takes out another seed and plants it again.
The turtle jumps over the seed (eventhough it is under the ground) everyday for long time. Soon a small tree grows up from the seed. Turtle keeps jumping on it everyday eventhough it is just a few centimeters tall. While the tree grows taller and taller, the turtle can jump taller and taller too. Until one day (after 10 years), the tree has grown up to be a big tree. Turtle finds himself easily jumping over the tree.
All the animals are surprised to find how tall can the turtle jump.
