Tortoise continues to lie to his friends, trick everyone and has become very greedy. His is now deep into more terrible trouble. As a result, he has not remained the same again. His personality and appearance have completely changed for life.
Greed can make someone to lie, steal, trick to or even kill or do all kinds of bad stuff, just to get what he/he wants. Tortoise does all these bad stuff and gets into tons of troubles almost always because of greed. As parents retell these stories to their children to teach them morals, they should also teach them that every bad act has a consequence, just as every good behavior has a reward.
The purpose of retelling these folktales is not only to impart cultural information to the young nor to preserve the stories for future generations. It is not only to entertain ourselves with the humor some of the stories provoke nor to learn from the mistakes of characters reflected in the stories so as to avoid similar consequences. It is also to inculcate moral values and discipline and social skills among the young and the adults of all races. Reading or listening to the stories also promotes good listening and right guessing, enhances logical and critical reasoning, sharpens our common sense, and improves our thinking skills. Let’s maximize every opportunity we have to use these valuable tools for educating the young as well as adults.
This book contains sixty-five old-time bedtime stories! Two opposite faces of Tortoise’s character are revealed here: the good and the bad. Tortoise, once loved and respected for his kindness, hard work, persistence, patience, wisdom, and super intelligence to dig out and solve the toughest puzzles or the most difficult and mysterious problems, is the same Tortoise who lost all that to lying, tricking, selfishness, revengefulness, greed, stealing, jealousy, and exploiting others’ weaknesses under the pretense of helping when he is actually out to hurt those he claims to help so as to achieve his goals. Parents, teachers, or others who use these stories for moral and life skills education should emphasize genuine moral values or virtues and also point out that how one gets to one’s goal should be as morally sound as the goal itself. So their discretion is crucial when addressing moral relativism, if any is obvious.
When the party was over, everyone left, and the tortoise has no means of going home. The tortoise jumped from the sky and landed on hard rocks on the earth and shattered his shell. He became so sick and spent so many months behind the rocks. Although he got better, his shell became cracked and patchy. This is why the tortoises shell is patchy.

This short story is about a lesson from disregarding an excellent moral compass. Although this book highlights the peaceful, harmonious friendship between the Ajapa (Tortoise) and Ako (Great Heron) at the beginning, that friendship was tested because of Tutu's lack of self-restraint. After falling from the sky, Ajapa's action left an undeniable legacy of a cracked shell on the back of all tortoises. I wrote this story to preserve the oral story that elders used to share with me and many other fellow kids growing up in my African community when we gathered in our compounds roasting corn on the cob under the stars. This book is dedicated to our elders and ancestors. Some of the proceeds will go to STEM and STEAM initiatives in Africa.
