There was a turtle living in a pond. He had two swans as friends. One day the turtle asked his friends that he was bored of the limited life of the pond and wanted to see the whole world. They could help him by taking him for a flight. Both the swans arranged for a stick and asked the turtle to grasp it with mouth. They would grasp both ends of the stick and would fly. This would have enabled the turtle to see the whole world. But the turtle was not supposed to speak anything while on flight. When the turtle was enjoying his flight many people got the surprise of their lives. On hearing their varied comments turtle could not stop himself from shouting in joy. Once his mouth opened he fell on the ground and died. One should speak at the opportune moment only.
