Two storks and turtle.
A woman was haughty and always gave others venomous words when they made her unhappy. She not only scolded the people but also she scolded their parent and their grandparents.
When the woman died, the death god forced her to rebirth in a turtle. The turtle spent its life in a pond alone, having normal days with fish and shrimps, her food. One year, it didn’t rain. The pond turned dry until it was a pond of mud and still continued turning dry. One day, two storks flew to and landed on the pond. They waded in mud to find something to eat. And just caught some shrimps when they met the turtle.
“Who are you? Get away, now or I will tear you in pieces”, shouted the turtle.
The storks felt unhappy as they were scolded but they kept their calm and conversed to make her calm.
“Ohh, you are also here, sister. We don’t come here to rob your food but to want to help you. Help you have food in this difficult time”, said the storks in happy voice.
“Sister! Who is your sister? Don’t try to be familiar with me. I myself am still alive without any help. So, get away, now”, snapped the turtle.
“But, you should know this pond is drying and when it has been dried, you will have nothing to eat”, said the first stork.
The turtle turned more angry, she scolded:
“Your business, isn't it? None asks you to take care of me”.
“Take easy, sister. We are not what you are thinking. On the way we fly to here, we have crossed many place, filled full by food. So, we don’t need to come here, the dried pond to find only something to eat”, said the second stork, lower its voice, “We come here to help you, inform you that pond is drying. And, you know it will never rain in short time. This pond will be dried and you—uhm you should know, you will die because of hunger”.
The turtle turned worry. She asked them in worry voice.
“So, What should I do now?”
“If you want, we will bring you to a place. It is not far away here. And we can make sure that the place is filled full by a lot of water, a lot of food which you will have never eaten all them”, said the first stork.
“How can I go to there? I can not fly, you know”, said the turtle.
“Ohh, don’t worry sister. We have an idea”, said one of stork while the other brought to a stick. “You will bite on middle of this stick tightly while we are flying and bringing you to the place but you must remember that you are not allowed to open your mouth though you see strange things on the way or anybody teases you. Opening your mouth means death. Understand?”
The turtle nodded. She thanked the storks and did what the storks said. The storks flew up, brought the turtle to go. Later, they flew cross a tea shop. People in the tea shop saw the strange thing so they laughed and said to others.
“Look! Two storks are bringing buffalo shit”.
The turtle was very angry but she forced herself not to talk any thing. Few minutes later, they flew cross a street market. People, that time, yelled:
“Look! Two storks are bringing a dead dog”.
That time, the turtle turned angrier and didn’t remember the storks’ words. She planned to scold them but she just opened her mouth, he fell down. Her body banged on ground and was broken in piece. She died.
The storks turned to the other and said:
“Omg! She forgets what we tried to warn her but maybe, it is worthy for her. Now, turn back the pond and find something to eat without any curse”.

Phải chia sẻ khoảng không gian sống cho một kẻ có tên là ánh sáng . Thế là bóng đêm rất ghét ánh sáng , ghét nhiều đến nỗi , bóng đêm chẳng thèm để ý đến ánh sáng nữa. Hễ đâu có ánh sáng thì bóng đêm quay lưng đi, chẳng cần nhìn làm gì, chẳng cần tiếp xúc với cái luồng sáng chói chang ấy. Bóng đêm là thế, có gì đó cô độc và lạnh lùng, vì muôn loài bây giờ chỉ thích ánh sáng thôi. Muôn loài vui chơi, đùa giỡn, sinh hoạt và lao động cùng ánh sáng. Còn khi bóng đêm đến, muôn loài chỉ muốn ngủ hoặc ngồi nhìn ngắm mà chẳng hề vui đùa với Bóng đêm. Thế là đêm thật buồn, thật cô độc và lạnh lẽo. Từ khi ánh sáng xuất hiện, bóng đêm ghét ánh sáng, hận ánh sáng, giờ đây bóng đêm tuyệt giao với ánh sáng và cũng chả thèm muôn loài. Mặc kệ, bó...
