HOW THE TORTOISE LOST ITS HAIR

HOW THE TORTOISE LOST ITS HAIR

Sep 08, 2023Abb Adeleke

Long ago, in a lush and vibrant African savannah, there lived a wise and cunning tortoise named Tobi. Tobi was known throughout the animal kingdom for his cleverness and quick wit. He was always ready with a solution to any problem, and his advice was sought after by both the young and the old.

 

One day, as the sun blazed in the sky, a great drought befell the land. The once flowing rivers and watering holes dried up, and the animals of the savannah began to suffer. The heat was unbearable, and food became scarce. Desperation filled the air as the animals gathered to discuss how to survive this difficult time.

 

Tobi, being the wise tortoise that he was, proposed a solution. "We must journey to the Sacred Oasis," he declared, "for it is said to hold the purest and most life-giving water in all the land."

 

The animals agreed, and under Tobi's guidance, they embarked on a long and arduous journey through the scorching desert. The journey was tough, but Tobi's wisdom and encouragement kept their spirits high. After days of travel, they finally reached the Sacred Oasis, a shimmering pool of crystal-clear water surrounded by lush vegetation.

 

However, standing between the animals and the oasis was a mighty and fearsome lion named Simba. "Halt!" he roared, his voice echoing through the oasis. "Only those who solve my riddle shall drink from this oasis."

 

Tobi stepped forward, his mind already working to decipher the riddle. "Speak, noble Simba," Tobi said with a confident smile. "I am ready to hear your riddle."

 

The lion looked at Tobi with a grin. "I have a golden coat, a magnificent mane, and I am known as the king of the savannah. What am I?"

 

Tobi pondered for a moment and then answered, "You are the mighty lion, Simba, the ruler of these lands."

 

Astonished by Tobi's quick wit, Simba stepped aside and allowed the animals to drink from the oasis. They quenched their thirst and felt revitalized by the pure water. Tobi's reputation as a clever and resourceful tortoise only grew stronger.

 

As the animals rested and enjoyed the oasis, Tobi approached a group of birds perched on a nearby tree. "Dear friends," he said, "I have an idea. We must gather as much of this precious water as we can and carry it back to our home. This oasis could save our lives during times of drought."

 

The birds agreed, and using their beaks and talons, they transported small amounts of water in hollowed-out gourds back to their homeland. Tobi supervised the operation, ensuring that every drop of water was utilized efficiently.

 

However, Tobi's tireless efforts did not go unnoticed. A group of jealous and envious animals, led by a mischievous monkey named Malik, watched from a distance. Malik couldn't bear the thought of Tobi gaining even more admiration and respect from their fellow animals.

 

One day, when Tobi was momentarily distracted, Malik sneaked into the makeshift storage area where the water was being collected. With a devious smile, Malik started emptying the gourds, wasting the water and sabotaging Tobi's plan.

 

When Tobi discovered the sabotage, he was devastated. The once-full gourds were now empty, and the animals' hopes of having a steady supply of water were dashed. Tobi's disappointment turned into anger, and he confronted Malik.

 

"Why have you done this?" Tobi asked, his voice trembling with a mixture of sadness and rage.

 

Malik shrugged, feigning innocence. "I saw no point in all your efforts. Water will return eventually. Besides, you already have enough praise and admiration. A little setback won't hurt."

 

Tobi realized that Malik's jealousy had caused this disaster. He knew that anger wouldn't solve anything, so he decided to take a different approach. "Malik," he said calmly, "you may have taken away the water we collected, but you can't take away my determination to help our fellow animals. I will find a way to ensure our survival."

 

True to his word, Tobi began devising a new plan. He reached out to the other animals, and together they dug deep into the ground, unearthing hidden pockets of water. They created wells that would provide a steady supply of water during droughts, ensuring the survival of their community.

 

However, during this time, Tobi began to notice a change in himself. His once-shiny shell had lost its luster, and patches of his once-thick hair started falling out. Tobi's appearance began to resemble that of a balding tortoise.

 

The other animals saw Tobi's transformation and couldn't help but feel sympathy for him. "Tobi, your dedication to our survival has cost you your hair," one of the birds remarked.

 

Tobi smiled, unfazed by his changed appearance. "My hair is a small price to pay for the well-being of our community. The lesson here is that true wisdom lies not in outward appearances but in the actions, we take to help others."

 

And so, the story of the wise and bald tortoise, Tobi, spread throughout the savannah. His selflessness, determination, and unwavering commitment to the welfare of his fellow animals were admired by all. From that day on, the tortoise became a symbol of wisdom, resilience, and the importance of looking beyond appearances.

 

And that, dear listener, is how the tortoise lost its hair, but gained the hearts and respect of all who knew its tale.

    I promised God that I would share my testimony on this website. I had all the signs of STD Virus but I was not too sure as to which one. I did a lot of online research and scared myself straight for a whole week before going to see the nurse. She took one look at my genital part and first said that it could just be the anatomy of my body, then she said it looked like genital warts and that I May have herpes. I was devastated. She gave me some medicine for the herpes and some cream for the warts. I was also tested for every single STD including herpes. I went home and cried searching the web for all sorts of cures for herpes and awaiting my results. I saw a post whereby Dr. Kham cured Herpes and other diseases, I copied his contacts out and added him on WhatsApp. The next day my test result was ready and I confirmed Herpes positive. I told Dr. Kham about my health problems and he assured me of a cure. He prepared his herbal medicine and sent it to me. I took it for 14 days (2 weeks). Before the completion of the 14 days in which I completed the dose, The Blisters and Warts that were on my body were cleared. I went back for a check-up and I was told I’m free from the virus.

  • Hello Everyone! I’m here to explore blogs and forums about the wonderful and most safe cure for Herpes Simplex Virus(HSV). I was positive to the herpes virus and I lost hope because I was outcast and rejected even by my closest friends. I searched online to know and enquire about a cure for HERPES and I read someone testimony on how she was cured from HSV-2, So I decided to contact the same herbalist because I know that nature has the power to heal everything. I contacted Dr Kham Remedies to know how he can help me and he told me never to worry that he will help me with the natural herbs from God! After 2 days of contacting him, he told me that the cure has been ready and he sent it to me via DHL and it got to me after 3 days! I used the med as he instructed me Twice Daily For Two weeks (MORNING and EVENING) and i was cured! it’s really like a dream but i’m so happy! That’s the reason I decided to also add more comments of Him so that more can be saved just like me and if you need his help, you can email him on dr.khamcaregiver@gmail.com or visit him on website at: https://linktr.ee/doc_kham

  • I wanted to take a moment to share my personal journey because I know how isolating and overwhelming it can feel to live with a chronic diagnosis like HSV-2. For years, I struggled with the physical and emotional toll this virus took on my life, and honestly, I had almost given up hope after being told by multiple doctors that there was no real cure. It was a dark time, and it deeply affected my confidence and my personal relationships. Everything changed when I stumbled upon a forum where someone shared their own experience with Dr. Kham herbal remedies. I’ll be honest—I was incredibly skeptical at first, having already tried so many things that didn’t work. However, the sincerity in their story pushed me to reach out. From the moment I contacted him, he was professional and truly attentive to everything I had been going through. He guided me through the process of using his herbal regimen, and after following his instructions carefully, I was absolutely stunned to see such a positive turn in my health. Getting back to a place where I feel like myself again has been nothing short of a miracle. I am sharing this simply because I know there are others out there searching for answers and feeling like they have nowhere left to turn. If you have been struggling with health issues like HSV-2, HPV, HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, Lupus or other chronic conditions, I genuinely recommend reaching out to him. You can contact Dr. Kham Remedies via email at [ dr.khamcaregiver@gmail.com ] or send him a message on WhatsApp at (+248159922297). You can also visit his website at https://linktr.ee/doc_kham to learn more about his work. Please know that there is hope, and you don’t have to keep suffering in silence.
