Boss

The Tortoise, The Elephant and The Hippopotamus

One day the tortoise met the elephant, who trumpeted, "Out of my way, you weakling – I might step on you!".�
The tortoise was not afraid and stayed where he was, so the elephant stepped on him, but could not crush him.

"Do not boast Mr. Elephant, I am as strong as you are!" said the tortoise, but the elephant just laughed. So the�
tortoise asked him to come to his hill the next morning.

The next day, before sunrise, the tortoise ran down the hill to the river where he
met the hippopotamus, who�
was just on his way back to the water after his nocturnal feeding.

"Mr Hippo! Shall we have a tug-of-war? I bet I'm as strong as you are!" said the tortoise.

The Hippo laughed at this ridiculous idea, but agreed. The tortoise produced a long rope and told the hippo
to hold it in his mouth until the tortoise shouted "Hey!".

Then the tortoise ran back up the hill where he found the elephant, who was getting impatient. He gave the�
elephant the other end of the rope and said, "When I say 'hey!' pull, and you'll see which of us is the strongest."

Then he ran halfway back down the hill, to a place where he couldn't be seen, and shouted "HEY!". The elephant
and the hippopotamus pulled and pulled, but neither could budge the other – they were of equal strength.

They both agreed that the tortoise was as strong as they were.

Never do what others can do for you.�

The tortoise let the others do the work for him while he got the credit.

Moral:Tortoise is your boss and you are an elephant...
